Guess so ... but my understanding of foomatic's job was that it managed the
nightmare that is Linux Font Management, that is, that it is not ONLY
concerned with printer's filters ...
But to be sure of this, one has to :
- eradicate the ghostscript-* packages
- install the old gs-esp (or some thing like that)
- dpkg-reconfigure -plow foomatic-filter (the so-called Schtroumpf package)
- test : install ghostscript-something, WITHOUT reconfiguring 'Schtroumpf'
- see was goes on from there ...
Sorry, I dont have time for that right now .. will be able to test somewhere
within 2 weeks ...

I think both package maintainers should be involved (maybe more .. see a bit
downwards), to discover what causes it .. maybe add some mean to detect what
packages is responsible for handling changes in font/ppd; the way I see it
right now would be to add another tool in Debian core system to handle this,
as foomatic *may* not be the only possible packages with such
side-effects ...

Dont think so either, but, without some mean to debug the CUPS/ghostscript's
work, I definitely cant help here (in one of my earliest messages, I pleaded
for someone who could help me getting some *meaningful* debugging logs ...
with no answers up to now ..)
