psiconv's migration to testing is blocked by the following bug
http://bugs.debian.org/609535 psiconv: magick/semaphore.c:526: LockSemaphoreInfo: Assertion `semaphore_info->signature == 0xabacadabUL' failed.
That bug in turn is blocked by
http://bugs.debian.org/611260 libgraphicsmagick3: Crash in psiconv suggests graphicsmagick bug (access of freed memory) A patch has been proposed to that bug but the author seems unsure about it's correctness.

The author is no longer unsure of the correctness.

The fix to blob.c which is available in changeset 61f615a6bc1f at http://graphicsmagick.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/graphicsmagick/graphicsmagick/rev/61f615a6bc1f has withstood the test of time, including an improved test suite. This changeset also introduced more robust testing.

Other important changesets which fix nasty bugs:

Fix core dump in AcquireOneCacheViewPixelInlined() when image is in CMYK space:
http://graphicsmagick.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/graphicsmagick/graphicsmagick/rev/0ba4a1f29a9e

Fix deadlock in ClonePixelCache():
http://graphicsmagick.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/graphicsmagick/graphicsmagick/rev/d0751a1c86b6

This changeset eliminates crashes/hangs when the user does a CONTROL-C but does introduce a new private interface function exposed by the shared library (PurgeTemporaryFiles): http://graphicsmagick.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/graphicsmagick/graphicsmagick/rev/961a787f781d
