Bug Description
Since wp3.5, wordpress can use ImageMagick (via php-imagick) to manipulate pictures, which can result in a boost in speed/quality. No configuration is needed; wordpress uses imagemagick if it's installed, and defaults to GD if it isn't.
I think this can be done as an alternative to the php-gd dependency. Another possibility is adding a php5-imagick recommends or suggests.

Since Ubuntu does not currently have a delta for wordpress against Debian it would be advantageous to ask the Debian maintainer to introduce that change in Debian. I'l CC him to this ticket for you.
