I see. Would you mind sharing one or some of the images where there are no
differences? I would like to investigate what makes them different from those
which do get changed by imagemagick. Maybe this can show a way of how to force
imagemagick never to recompress.

Dont worry - I would very much appreciate if somebody would come forward and
tell me that there already exists a solution for this problem because then I
can stop my efforts in img2pdf itself or maintaining it in Debian. It took me
quite some time until I started writing img2pdf because I thought "it can't be
that software that solves this simple problem doesnt exist yet" and I didnt
want to create another NIH solution. But now two years passed since I created
img2pdf and I still dont see this problem being solved. Instead I got feedback
from many users who found img2pdf useful and also didnt see an alternative. So
I wanted to start maintaining it in Debian.
cheers, josch
