Hello all,

there was a few big changes in ghostscript, see the following lines.

Sincerly, DaB.

ghostscript (8.61.dfsg.1~svn8187-1) unstable; urgency=low

As the ESP Ghostscript development is discontinued now, the extra   functionality of ESP Ghostscript is merged into upstream GPL Ghostscript   from version 8.60 on. This is the first Debian/Ubuntu package of this   merged Ghostscript. It contains the following added functionality from   ESP Ghostscript:

- Enhanced PCL XL driver.     - Shared library and driver (X11) support for Linux/UNIX.     - The CUPS "driver" that generates a series of raster       images for CUPS printer drivers.     - Nearly all known free printer drivers which have to       be compiled into Ghostscript - drivers listed with       "Execution style: Ghostscript" on openprinting.org.       Not included are some obsolete drivers such as hpdj       which is replaced by the included pcl3 driver.     - All known Uniprint configuration files (*.upp) as       listed on openprinting.org.     - Patches to add the NOMEDIAATTRS option to Ghostscript,       which allows CUPS drivers to use media options       separate from Ghostscript.     - KRGB support for IJS drivers.     - OpenPrinting Vector interface     - Support files for CUPS.     - Enhanced build system (easy driver selection, font       search path setting, ...).

This package has everything activated.

Due to Ghostscript's head development being under GPL now, and all important   functionality being developed at ghostscript.com, forks are not needed any   more. This makes gs-esp, gs-afpl, and gs-common obsolete. gs-gpl is also   renamed to ghostscript now, so that it can be found in repositories more   easily. This new ghostscript package automatically removes all gs-* packages.
