Hydra is chronically low on disk space. We don't have the resources to
keep the historical substitutes for the imagemagick-updates branch's
jobset [0], which hasn't seen any activity in a couple months.

I'll delete the jobset in the next day or so unless there is more work
on this task.

Since the upstream maintainers will support ImageMagick 6 for at least
~9 more years, I think it's fine to stick with 6 while other distros
with more volunteer-power evaluate which packages are able to use the
new API.
