Dear maintainer(s),

I noticed that package gimp-plugin-registry recommends gimp-gmic, which
is currently not available in unstable.

I see that the gmic source package stop building gimp-gmic in
version 2.9.4-4.1:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/gmic/-/blob/master/debian/changelog?ref_type=heads#L18

I don't know if the recommends should be just deleted or if another
package should be use instead.

PS[0]: I am developing a tool to detect such issues:
https://salsa.debian.org/carlespina/check-relations . Reports are
manually reviewed before submission. If you would prefer not to receive
such reports (for specific packages, all of your maintained packages,
etc.), please let me know. Any other feedback is welcomed as well. No
more bugreports for this missing relation will be sent.
