Quote /usr/share/doc/imv/README.Debian:
| Starting from upstream version 4.0.0 imv ships two binaries that
| handle Wayland and X11 natively: imv-wayland and imv-x11. To allow
| seamless usage to users upstream provides a /usr/bin/imv wrapper that
| checks whether a Wayland compositor is available before running the
| appropriate binary.

| The Debian package does not ship the wrapper script to avoid a file
| name clash with the renameutils package.

Invoking either imv-wayland or imv-x11 should work perfectly fine on the
commandline.
