imagemagick: convert thinks svg/svgz to xpm needs waf2eps

[Niels Thykier]

Binary package hint: imagemagick

Hi

Currently Sentinella FTBFS in Ubuntu because imagemagick's convert attempts to do convert an svgz to xpm via waf2eps. Even if waf2eps is present it fails, because waf2eps cannot handle the svgz file. The logs are available from [1]. There are also some logs available from my PPA.
  This issue cannot be fixed by explicitly setting the input format either (by using svg:$filename).

This problem cannot be reproduced in Debian sid, which has imagemagick 7:6.6.2.6-1.

Thank you in advance,
~Niels

Since I need my PPA to test a workaround I am attaching the PPA log here, so it does not disappear.
