Package: autotrace
Version: 0.31.1-7
Severity: normal


autotrace has a -background-color <color> parameter to control which 
color is used as transparent.  However by default there is no background 
color, and there is no way to specify "transparent" as the background 
color.  So to get transparency in the image you have to do some magick 
to convert the transparent color into a different, unused color, then 
use -transparent-background <color> on this color.

If there is some way to use transparency, then it's not very well 
documented.  The help for -background-color says only RGB values may be 
used.

I suggest that the default background color be transparent.  And also 
that the <color> parameter may be any color string supported by 
SVG/imagemagick.
