I've attached a patch.

First, the change of gsfonts to a transitional package is bogus as
it potentially breaks (silently or not) the build of packages that
expect a normal gsfonts package. The current imagemagick version
has

        --with-gs-font-dir=/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts \

in its debian/rules file while the fonts were replaced by those in
the /usr/share/fonts/type1/urw-base35 directory.

That said, I don't know the consequences in practice. Apparently,
this affects the ghostscript_font_dir variable, which is used only
by config/type-ghostscript.xml.in (a typemap file).

Anyway, in the attached patch, I've replaced this line by

       --with-urw-base35-font-dir=/usr/share/fonts/type1/urw-base35 \

The other changes are the replacement of the gsfonts package by
fonts-urw-base35 in control and the control.d directory.

I don't know what to do with the tests and tests.d directories,
as rebuilding the package with this patch doesn't fail.
