[Bug 1562560] [NEW] imagemagick is incorrectly set as a dependency - it should be recommended/a suggestion

[fossfreedom]

Public bug reported:

imagemagick hijacks the pdf mimetype so evince is not auto-run when
double clicking a pdf.

Trying to imagemagick removes some vital cups and printer capabilities.

Can't see a particular reason why its a dependency - at the minimum it
should be a recommended package to allow you to uninstall it.

Preferably it should be moved to a suggested package.
