[Pkg-gmagick-im-team] Bug#579160: imagemagick: should probably only suggest ufraw

Package: imagemagick
Version: 7:6.6.0.4-2
Severity: minor
Tags: squeeze

Hi,  on a freshly installed Debian squeeze desktop system, ufraw appears in the
GNOME application menu. This is because inkscape, which is installed by
default, recommends imagemagick which in turn recommends ufraw. I think,
editing pictures in RAW format is a rather special use case and not something
that needs a dedicated application installed by a standard install. If someone
want to do it, he/she can easily find and istall this program via the usual apt
tools. Additionally, ufraw does not really well integrate with the other GNOME
application and may thus leave a negative taste on a fresh system. Demoting
ufraw to a Suggests would fix this issue.  Cheers, Fabian
