(upstream here) In the past there were some issues with non-ESP versions of GS in combination with CUPS-PDF since not all options were supported (at least not in the same way). I never tested CUPS-PDF against GS-GPL, so I cannot guarantee that it will work. But if the maintainer can test CUPS-PDF with the GS-GPL that comes with Debian, it is ok for me to include this alternative.
