The command-line equivalent is "dpkg -L", to list the files that belong
to an installed package.

In the specific case of imagemagick, things get a little bit weird:

hobbit:~$ dpkg -L imagemagick-6.q16 | grep bin/
/usr/bin/animate-im6.q16
/usr/bin/compare-im6.q16
/usr/bin/composite-im6.q16
/usr/bin/conjure-im6.q16
/usr/bin/convert-im6.q16
/usr/bin/display-im6.q16
/usr/bin/identify-im6.q16
/usr/bin/import-im6.q16
/usr/bin/mogrify-im6.q16
/usr/bin/montage-im6.q16
/usr/bin/stream-im6.q16

And these are pointed to by symlinks in the "alternatives" system:

hobbit:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/convert
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Feb 12 15:15 /usr/bin/convert -> /etc/alternatives/convert*
hobbit:~$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/convert
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Feb 12 15:15 /etc/alternatives/convert -> /usr/bin/convert-im6.q16*

In any case, there is no command named "magick".
