Please merge the following Ubuntu package version of Ghostscript into
Debian:
8.64.dfsg.1-0ubuntu11
It has the following fixes and new feature (in addition to the ones of
0ubuntu9 and earlier):
- pstoraster did not work when called with an input file name as the 6th
command line argument.
- The "ps2write" output device produces PostScript which is not
DSC-conforming, so do not advertize it as DSC-conforming with a
"%!PS-Adobe-..." magic string. Use "%!" instead. Otherwise the
"pstops" CUPS filter cannot handle this output
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/377011).
- Fixed recognition of page size via /cupsPageSizeName in the "cups"
output device. All page sizes were considered custom sizes if
/cupsPageSizeName was not set.
- Splitted off the CUPS-related files into its own package, so that the
requirements of cups and cups-client for the automatic update of the
PPDs of existing print queues do not apply to the ghostscript core
package. Added cups and cups-client to the Depends: entry of the new
ghostscript-cups package, so that the automatic updates of the PPDs
also works on updates to a new release of the distribution and not
only on single-package updates. Added also perl as dependency to the
ghostscript-cups package as it is also needed for the automatic PPD
updates.
Especially the second and the last change are necessarily needed in
Debian, to avoid that the CUPS packages have to be different in Debian
and Ubuntu.
