It looks like libmagick10, a dependency of the imagemagick package, is now linked against libdjvulibre21, which pulls in a ton of packages not appropriate for a server:
The following NEW packages will be installed: app-install-data dbus dbus-x11 djview4 djvulibre-plugin eject esound-clients gconf2 gconf2-common gksu gnome-keyring gnome-mount hal hal-info iceape-browser iceape-gnome-support libaudio2 libaudiofile0 libavahi-client3 libavahi-common-data libavahi-common3 libavahi-glib1 libbonobo2-0 libbonobo2-common libbonoboui2-0 libbonoboui2-common libcairo-perl libdbus-1-3 libdbus-glib-1-2 libdirectfb-1.0-0 libdirectfb-extra libdjvulibre21 libeel2-2.20 libeel2-data libenchant1c2a libesd0 libgail-common libgail18 libgconf2-4 libgksu2-0 libglade2-0 libglib-perl libgnome-keyring0 libgnome-menu2 libgnome2-0 libgnome2-canvas-perl libgnome2-common libgnome2-perl libgnome2-vfs-perl libgnomecanvas2-0 libgnomeui-0 libgnomeui-common libgnomevfs2-0 libgnomevfs2-common libgnomevfs2-extra libgtk2-perl libgtop2-7 libgtop2-common libhal-storage1 libhal1 libhunspell-1.1-0 libidl0 libilmbase6 libmng1 libmysqlclient15off libnautilus-extension1 libnotify1 libnspr4-0d libnss3-1d libopenexr6 liborbit2 libpam-gnome-keyring libqt4-core libqt4-gui libqt4-qt3support libqt4-sql libscrollkeeper0 libsexy2 libsmbclient libsmbios-bin libsmbios1 libsmbiosxml1 libsplashy1 libsqlite0 libstartup-notification0 libts-0.0-0 libvte-common libvte9 libwnck-common libwnck22 libx86-1 libxres1 mozilla-browser mysql-common notification-daemon pm-utils powermgmt-base qt4-qtconfig radeontool scrollkeeper synaptic uswsusp vbetool The following packages will be upgraded: libmagick10 1 upgraded, 103 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 54.4MB of archives. After this operation, 154MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
Seriously, this should have been thought through a little better. Lots of folks use ImageMagick as a backend for photo gallery and other scripts. Servers don't need any gnome-* crap, eject, dbus, or any of the other desktop trash.
I'm waiting for a libmagick10-nodjvu package, or similar. So yeah, Debian testing users, beware.
Update: Just add "APT::Install-Recommends "false";" to /etc/apt/apt.conf, and it won't install recommends.
