Aaah... imagemagick is currently a Depends.  In everything I said I
assumed it was a Recommends already, since you mentioned dependencies
for braille where downgraded to recommends already, so I thought it was
just a question of the alternative.  So I'm fine with downgrading to
recommends, since I assumed it was already the case :) (and the
alternative is fine since you say the compatibility is not perfect
graphicsmagick can't Provide a versioned imagemagick)

Braille text support does not depend on imagemagick, only braille
picture support does.
