seems like your magick++-package is called libmagick++6c2 instead of 
libmagick++6 (as dpkg assumes), similar for libavifile.

change the line10 in debian/control to
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, pd | puredata, libtiff4, libjpeg62, 
libmagick++9c2a | libmagick++6 | libmagick++6c2, libmpeg3-1, 
libquicktime1 | libquicktime4linux0, libavifile-0.7c2 | libavifile-0.7, 
libdv4

note to myself: there must be a better way for dependencies. consult the 
debian manual.
