Ah, so you mean the upstream TeXLive pstricks package is another
testcase, rather than that some Debian package such as texlive-extra
is failing to build from source.

Ok, lowering severity.  Do you know what was the intent of the checks
preventing inclusion of files from ../ introduced around 4 years ago
that Ralf Stubner mentioned?  In modern gs, they seem to be enabled
by -dSAFER, despite not having anything to do with the description in
the manpage:

        -dSAFER
                Disables the "deletefile" and "renamefile" operators
                and the ability to open files in any mode other than
                read-only.  This strongly recommended for spoolers,
                conversion scripts or other sensitive environments
                where a badly written or malicious PostScript program
                code must be prevented from changing important files.

By contrast with bug#618530, this ".." check kicks in even for "gs -P".
That is:

        mkdir subdir
        man -t ls >ls.ps

        echo '(ls.ps) run' | gs;        # displays manpage.
        echo '(ls.ps) run' | gs -dSAFER;        # fails.
        echo '(ls.ps) run' | gs -P -dSAFER;     # displays manpage.

        cd subdir
        echo '(../ls.ps) run' | gs;     # displays manpage.
        echo '(../ls.ps) run' | gs -dSAFER;     # fails.
        echo '(../ls.ps) run' | gs -P -dSAFER;  # fails.
