You mean like -
convert photo10.jpg photo10.pdf
rpm -qf `which convert` ImageMagick-6.3.5.9-1.fc8
I'm not sure if that resulting PDF works well in LaTeX.

ImageMagick can indeed do 99% of what bemps can do, but it requires some non-obvious (to me) command line parameters. The only thing it cannot do compared to bemps w.r.t. PDF generation is to use multiple (piped) /Filter commands for the included image. See these discussion(s) on ImageMagick mailing list: http://www.nabble.com/How-to-specify--ASCII85Decode--FlateDecode-for-PDF-ima... http://www.nabble.com/1-bit-per-channel-PDF--td18822037.html
So, I don't have a compelling reason to package bmeps anymore.
