Yes, but all this schemes would kill existing scripts (that's why I mentioned
pitchforks ;-)
Stefan's approach would have at least the advantage that one could skirt the
problem by augmenting $PATH (unless the scripts call the ImageMagick binaries
with full path).
I don't think a distro would want to do that. I'd think these horses left
the barn long time ago.
