in 15sp4 trough bug 1122033
$ osc cat SUSE:SLE-15-SP4:Update ImageMagick ImageMagick.spec | grep -A 10
%pretrans

in Factory (past)
$ osc cat -r 286 openSUSE:Factory/ImageMagick ImageMagick.spec | grep -A 10
%pretrans

in graphics/ImageMagick
$ osc cat graphics/ImageMagick ImageMagick.spec | grep -A 10 %pretrans


The more I think about it: in 2019, the original idea was (perhaps false, yes)
to have alternative whole config directory, but I think just policy.xml could
be sufficient as it is only file variable across the security policies.

We have users (bug 1122033) which want to use alternative security policy and
want to switch between them just by installing corresponding package. Perhaps
we could provide everything except policy.xml in new /etc/IMagick-7 (or so,
/etc/ImageMagick was an u-a link in SLE12 already) inside main ImageMagick
package and then /etc/IMagick-7/policy.<policy>.xml in few different
subpackages ImageMagick-policy-<policy>. Not completely sure what would do the
/etc/IMagick-7/policy.xml link as update-alternatives seem to get abandoned.
Perhaps something like 12sp5/apache2?

Other ideas welcome
