the situation is getting better if I force not to install the
recommended packages. Hence, imagemagick still wants to install a lot of
packages I don't understand (still a lot of X and gtk stuff).

I don't think, this is just bug http://bugs.debian.org/474993 where
skipping recommendations works.

aptitude install --without-recommends imagemagick
