OK - I can see that point of view, too: the philosophy of Jean- Francois patch is not so "fink-ish". But the thing is that ghostscript seems to be relying on "slightly patched" versions of packages like jasper, which it compiles from its own source tree. The "--without-jasper" solution is the more conservative one, in the sense that it deviates least from the previous versions of the fink package, and it makes ghostscript a better "fink citizen". However, Jean-Francois' solution probably makes it easier to follow future upgrades of ghostscript, especially if the included patched libraries diverge significantly from the original ones that exist as fink packages (just guessing here). From the README of ghostscript/jasper: """ This version has been modified with a few minor patches to improve integration into Ghostscript and to better support the JPXDecode stream filter in PDF 1.5. It is an unofficial release and only specifically recommened by the Ghostscript maintainers for use in building the Ghostscript program.
