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

[Mathew Hodson]

cups-filters (1.8.3-2ubuntu3) in Xenial has a new dependency on
imagemagick (>= 6.4~). This is a change from Wily and earlier releases.

** Package changed: hplip (Ubuntu) => cups-filters (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: cups-filters (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Low

** No longer affects: imagemagick (Ubuntu)

Title:
  imagemagick is incorrectly set as a dependency - it should be
  recommended/a suggestion

Status in cups-filters package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
