This was super helpful, thanks!

I made a fork that just adds one line for python-opencv for folks that want to use feature/face detection.

Thanks, help-me alot.

@okor, I've updated the dependencies, you actually don't need graphicsmagick, if you're using Pillow.

Thanks for the great script!

upstart is deprecated now so init-checkconf wont work unless you forcefully install upstart by:
sudo apt-get install upstart-sysv sudo update-initramfs -u sudo reboot

Also, there is a dependency to libssl

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
