Thank you, Orcan. And off course I do not want any holly-war.
I just wonder about frequently of upstream releases (as I say before 
around one in week). Is it normal update it in rawhide each time?

About ABI breakage there separate problem in ImageMagick - 
http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg736218.html
So, upstream is not carefully there and I never can't guarantee what 
there no ABI breakage in any update...

P.S. It seams it does not hit list, i post mail again. It is reason such 
big delay...
