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.

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 the final comment on the attached Debian bug but the Debian maintainer doesn't seem to see the problem. (I emailed him directly a few months ago but he didn't seem that interested in fixing the issue any time soon.)
