Yeah, I agree that recommending them all is probably too much, but I
suspect that recomending a subset like ghostscript, ufraw, netpbm, and
maybe groff-base (or similar) would be the set that people would
commonly use, and the rest could be suggests.

I know I certainly convert raw camera pictures and ps things more
often than I muck with those other formats... but that's certainly a
judgement call, and involves personal preference. If you see it
differently, that's fine too.
