Yes, but all this schemes would kill existing scripts (that's why I mentioned pitchforks ;-) Stefan's approach would have at least the advantage that one could skirt the problem by augmenting $PATH (unless the scripts call the ImageMagick binaries with full path). I don't think a distro would want to do that. I'd think these horses left the barn long time ago.
