Good point.  I've filed a stable update request as

Bug#982302: Outdated ghostscript font paths

2021-02-08 Thread Rodrigo Arias 
Package: groff
Version: 1.22.4-3

When building a PDF with groff 1.22.4-3 [1] on Debian buster, it 
complains that some fonts are missing:

% groff -ms -k -t -p -R -Tpdf test.ms > test.pdf
test.ms: Failed to open '/usr/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/Font/P052-Bold'

The last version of ghostscript at current time is 9.27 with the fonts 
provided by the package libgs9-common [2], located at:

% ls -1 /usr/share/ghostscript/9.27/Resource/Font
C059-BdIta
C059-Bold
C059-Italic
C059-Roman
D05L
NimbusMonoPS-Bold
NimbusMonoPS-BoldItalic
NimbusMonoPS-Italic
NimbusMonoPS-Regular
NimbusRoman-Bold
...

While in groff, the paths are outdated as they point to the 9.26 
version:

% awk '/ghost/{print $2}' /usr/share/groff/1.22.4/font/devpdf/download
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/Font/URWGothic-Book
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/Font/URWGothic-BookOblique
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/Font/URWGothic-Demi
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/Font/URWGothic-DemiOblique
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/Font/URWBookman-Demi
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/Font/URWBookman-DemiItalic
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/Font/URWBookman-LightItalic
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/Font/URWBookman-Light
*/usr/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/Font/NimbusMonoPS-Regular
*/usr/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/Font/NimbusMonoPS-Bold
...

It seems that the paths in the "download" file are generated at build 
time pointing to the ghostscript installation, detected in the configure 
phase [3,4]. Therefore, rebuilding groff again should be enough to fix 
the paths.
