While the visual side of this bug is fixed now (the ugly wizard-icon is
gone from the launcher), the usability side is still alive:

You can still test the "imagemagick" app from within Ubuntu Software and
decide to remove it from there. With the ugly side-effect of removing
printing support without even realizing that this is printing related at
all.

Jeremy, Ian, can you remove the app from being listed in Ubuntu Software
as well? Or at least move it to the "System Apps" section to prevent
useres to unvoluntarily remove CUPS?

Title:
  UIFe: Drop imagemagick-display from the default install

Status in ubuntu-settings package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in imagemagick package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  Impact
  ======
  I'm proposing to drop the ImageMagick app from the default Ubuntu 17.10.

  It is visible in the Show Applications view of the Activities Overview
  so this could impact screenshots.

  Justification
  =============
  imagemagick is a collection of commandline utilities for working with images, 
photos, etc. It is a required dependency for many things and will still be 
installed by default.

  Bundled with imagemagick is the "display" app, which is an app with an
  unusual, difficult-to-use UI. It was not intentionally included in the
  default Ubuntu install but was only there because it was packaged
  together.

  I am proposing splitting the display app to a separate binary package
  so that it is available for install for the few who do want to use the
  app.

  I tried proposing this to Debian. See comment #60 on the attached
  Debian bug but the Debian maintainer doesn't seem interested in
  accepting my proposal any time soon. (I emailed him directly a few
  months ago too.)
