Which build cycle, could you elaborate with your knowledge, please?

Perhaps yes, but I am not sure keeping GraphicsMagick for that reason only
outweigh the issues described in comment 0. I do not see many packages
requiring GraphicsMagick currently. That is why I am _considering_
GraphicsMagick removal now.

At least gmic fake dependency was discovered now. But yes, I have to admit that
I cannot be sure on the beginning we can get rid of GraphicsMagick completely,
no matter how sensible it sounds.
