Bug#990028: /usr/bin/mogrify-im6.q16: raw support requires ufraw-batch which is no longer in Debian

[Brian May]

Package: imagemagick-6.q16
Version: 8:6.9.11.60+dfsg-1.3
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/mogrify-im6.q16

$ /usr/bin/mogrify-im6.q16 -verbose -write /dev/null /home/brian/photos/images/orig/2005/03/19/IMG_4706.CR2

ufraw was removed from Debian - see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=931725

According to https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/issues/1617 it
looks like imagemagick fully supports using libraw instead. But this
needs to be compiled into the binary.

"If you install libraw development (header files are required), you must
then build/install ImageMagick from source. It will detect the delegate
library when you run the configure script and leverage it to read your
CR2 image."

If just stumbled over this:

❯ identify -format "%f: %wx%h\n" "DSC_0597.NEF"
identify-im6.q16: delegate failed `'ufraw-batch' --silent --create-id=also --out-type=png --out-depth=16 --output='%u.png' '%i'' @ error/delegate.c/InvokeDelegate/1966.
identify-im6.q16: unable to open image `/tmp/magick-vD_smqp7YJHGABZ2bxgam6OJlqxQ5NMN.ppm': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2924.

I am still running Debian/bullseye, but as far as I can see version 6.9.12.20+dfsg1-1 is only in experimental.
Any plans to bring it to unstable?

Apart from that, imagemagick-6.q16 + imagemagick-6.q16hdri do still have "Suggests: ufraw-batch"[1][2].
This should be removed.

[2] https://salsa.debian.org/debian/imagemagick/-/blob/debian/lastest/debian/control?ref_type=heads#L411

And finally: is there a workaround for this problem, as Debian/bullseye + bookworm still seem to be affected by this bug?
Should we open a new issue or re-open this bug?

Thx for maintaining!

Best,
