Title:
  convert: "-quality" ignored in JPG to PDF conversion

Status in “imagemagick” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “imagemagick” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: imagemagick

  I used to convert a series of JPG files to PDF with the following command:
  convert -quality 20 *.jpg output.pdf

  With 16 images sizing approximately 3 MB, the output file was about
  3MB big in Ubuntu 8.10 and earlier.

  This no longer works in 9.04. The output file is now more than 300MB
  big!

  I'm using imagemagick 7:6.4.5.4.dfsg1-1ubuntu3.1

  This must be a problem with this particular ImageMagick version, or
  with the way the package was compiled. I rebuilt ImageMagick-6.5.4-2
  from its sources, and it didn't show this issue.
