When using 'convert' to create a PDF file from PNG-images, it interprets
the value given after -density as dots per centimeter, whereas the
documentation in /usr/share/doc/www/imagemagick/www/command-line-options.html
says that the default unit of measure is dots per inch.

do a apt-get update

then apt-get install -t experimental imagemagick, normally it will
work but I think your test case is quite good :)
