Control: retitle 995392 ghostscript: ToUnicode CMap has incorrect mappings

Well, the story is the following one. On some PDF file, I initially
found an issue visible with pdftotext (in particular) after running
ps2pdf. The fact is that there were several bugs (which I didn't
know), and when I tried to simplify the file to produce a simple
testcase, I hit some of these bugs, later clearly identified in

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=998458

and

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=998461

(both in the PDF writer). But when these bugs were fixed, I could
still see an issue with my original file, still tracked in this
Debian bug. It now appears that this remaining issue was related
to the PDF interpreter, not just the PDF writer. So I'm updating
the bug title to be less restrictive.

Note: the old PDF interpreter can still be used with

  ps2pdf -dNEWPDF=false ...

which makes the bug reappear.

According to upstream, the bug may reappear later, but I don't
think that it is useful to reopen this bug in Debian, as long as
issues are no longer visible in Debian.
