Thanks. Okay, I did that, and I was then able to remove imagemagick, but only
if imagemagick:i386 is installed instead - and that's also marked as a
dummy package that can be safely removed or purged.
At this point:
~$ aptitude search '~iimagemagick'
idA imagemagick:i386 - image manipulation programs -- binaries
i A imagemagick-6-common - image manipulation programs -- infrastructure
i imagemagick-6.q16 - image manipulation programs -- quantum depth Q16
