The surprising part of that third element is that it is assumed to be
non-nil when missing (see `org-latex-packages-to-string').

The docstring already contains two references to
`org-latex-packages-alist'.  Wouldn't suggesting to insert

  (add-to-list 'org-latex-packages-alist '("" "minted" nil))

be confusing, since we don't provide a third element for "listings" and
"color" packages? Well, unless we provide the element for the three of
them (t for the first two, and nil for the last).

In that case, I suggest to use `imagemagick' for the conversion, since
it relies on `org-latex-pdf-process' value (and is therefore
customizable).
