I have a netbook with Ubuntu 10.10 installed from CVS a few months ago -
just checked, and I had more or less randomly installed graphicsmagick, and
I didn't have any problems compiling Xastir.

Moving on to a Lubuntu 10.10 virtual machine that was used recently to try
out a Xastir deb package.  I installed libmagickcore-dev, which resulted in
the magick-config.h file being installed under
usr/include/ImageMagick/magick.

Here's what the quantum depth related portion of the file looks like:

/* Number of bits in a pixel Quantum (8/16/32/64) */
#ifndef MAGICKCORE_QUANTUM_DEPTH
#define MAGICKCORE_QUANTUM_DEPTH 16
#endif

I haven't tried building the latest CVS code in Lubuntu, but it doesn't look
like there is a quantum depth issue with imagemagick.
