;; This is a variant of the 'imagemagick' package that is not updated often.
;; It is intended to be used as a native-input at build-time only, e.g. by
;; 'gtk-doc' (via 'dblatex') for generating package documentation. This
;; allows the main 'imagemagick' package to be freely updated on the 'master'
;; branch without triggering an excessive number of rebuilds.

;; Normally the grafts mechanism would be used, but there are often
;; difficulties grafting imagemagick, e.g. because upstream changes the ABI
;; between micro version updates. Also, the overwhelming majority of
;; dependencies on imagemagick are via 'gtk-doc' in 'native-inputs', where
;; grafting is ineffective. See:
