IIRC convertDefault.py is only called if no converted is available from
prefs, right?

missing.

If I add to prefs

\converter "png" "pdf6" "img2pdf -o $$o $$i" ""

conversion of the problematic files to DVI works again, and the
converted graphics are actually of very good quality.

So should we add a test for this converter to configure.py?

Letting convertDefault.py check for the ImageMagick policy is still a
good idea.
