Bug#823110: cups-filters: Versioned dependency on imagemagick makes using graphicsmagick harder



Package: cups-filters
Version: 1.11.6-3
Followup-For: Bug #823110

I second this, and push it further.
cups-filters depends on imagemagik for "convert" alone, and it's used only in:

 /var/lib/cups/filter/imagetobrf
 /var/lib/cups/filter/texttobrf

Both usage of convert are absolutely trivial, and graphicsmagick can fulfil
both without problems.

I originally filed a bug to downgrade the dependency of braille-dependent tools
to a Recommends.

Please change the dependency to:

 Recommends: imagemagick (>= 6.4~) | graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat

Please note that I do not want to dismiss braille support here. I'd rather see
braille filters split into a separate package where we can properly Depend on
the required tools instead.
