I quickly checked and indeed gm convert seem to give the same as IM's convert without being affected by bans in policy.xml. On debian only 'gm' binary is avaiable and you need to call 'gm convert' so we would need to change our configure script to deal wit this. We need to check that opensuse (and fedora?) contain GM, and test it for some time to see possible side effects. But otherwise it seems as a reasonable solution. We could just put into release notes that we urge all distro maintainers who were can't do anything with IM bans to give GM as a primary dependency. What others think?
