Bug Description
imagemagick hijacks the pdf mimetype so evince is not auto-run when double clicking a pdf.
Trying to imagemagick removes some vital cups and printer capabilities.
Can't see a particular reason why its a dependency - at the minimum it should be a recommended package to allow you to uninstall it.
Preferably it should be moved to a suggested package.

tagged hplip because hplip is pulling in imagemagick as a dependency (?) - apologies if its not hplip but its cups instead.
