While upgrading imagemagick to 8:6.9.2.10+dfsg-2 (becoming it a dummy
package where imagemagick-6.q16 8:6.9.2.10+dfsg-2+b1 depends on), I got
the following output:

Notice the "dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: directory
'/usr/share/doc/imagemagick' contains files not owned by package
imagemagick:all, cannot switch to symlink" while unpacking
"imagemagick_8%3a6.9.2.10+dfsg-2_all.deb" caused the break.
The related report #816854 also mention the issues when creating
symlinks, that also render the package broken.
Also, cups-filters (therefore, cups) depends on imagemagick, and since
8:6.9.2.10+dfsg-2 became a dummy package (and broken after upgrading);
removing it *will break* cups. Therefore, the cups dependences should
also be modified to fit "imagemagick-6.q16" in addition of imagemagick.
The only solution is to keep or downgrade imagemagick and
imagemagick-6.q16 to 8:6.8.9.9-7+b2.
