CUPS has own pdftops and old cupsys package included this.
This pdftops is derrived from pdftops in Xpdf (almost same), and I had
been affected many security hole problem by it :-)
So, I think there isn't so big size expansion by depending xpdf-utils.

As far as I know, gs-esp's PDF conversion is far from perfect, and it
is too hard to modify pdftops for using gs-esp.
Furthermore gs-esp needs many packages than xpdf-utils :-)
