The Debian wiki page for KVM gives a lot of the basics on running
virtual machines in KVM/QEMU.
https://wiki.debian.org/KVM

I can confirm that virt-manager works well enough as a GUI interface.
If you're running any debian/devuan-based systems as VM guests, you
will find the guest agent daemon inside the `qemu-guest-agent`
package.

Looking at the package info for imagemagick with `apt show
imagemagick` you can see that it has

Depends: imagemagick-6.q16 (>= 8:6.9.2.10+dfsg-2~)

and also mentions "This is a dummy package. You can safely purge or
remove it." so this is just an empty package.
The imagemagick binaries you are looking for are in either
`imagemagick-6.q16` or `imagemagick-6.q16hdri`.
The geeqie package info shows

Recommends: exiftran, exiv2, zenity, imagemagick, librsvg2-common,
cups-bsd | lpr

so apt should pull in the `imagemagick-6.q16` package automatically
via dependencies if you haven't changed the default config of
installing Recommends.

You won't find an `/usr/bin/imagemagick` binary anywhere. The binaries
in this package:

# dpkg -L imagemagick-6.q16 | grep /bin
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/animate-im6.q16
/usr/bin/compare-im6.q16
/usr/bin/composite-im6.q16
/usr/bin/conjure-im6.q16
/usr/bin/convert-im6.q16
/usr/bin/display-im6.q16
/usr/bin/identify-im6.q16
/usr/bin/import-im6.q16
/usr/bin/mogrify-im6.q16
/usr/bin/montage-im6.q16
/usr/bin/stream-im6.q16

and these are linked into /usr/bin using the Debian alternatives system.
