Package: imagemagick Version: 8:6.8.9.9-5 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Whilst debugging the two desktop menu items in imagemagick (separate bug), it was noticed that the two packages (imagemagick & imagemagick-6.q16) seem to provide the same binary, despite the q16 package being advertised as having a different quantum depth (16 v 8). The *-im6 binaries in /usr/bin of imagemagick are links to binaries in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ImageMagick-6.8.9/bin-Q16 (on amd64). Also, if offering a default quantum depth package, and one with more quantum depth, would it be better to offer Q16 as the default, and Q32 as the option?
