Package: gs-esp
Version: 8.15.3.dfsg.1-1
Severity: normal

I use pdflatex to build work presentations frequently.  My figures
are usually created using gnuplot as encapsulated postscript files,
and then converted to pdf's using epstopdf, which in turn calls gs-esp.

In the past, the pdf's I would create automatically matched their text
and lines to the foreground colors specified in the
presentation.tex file.  After converting foo.eps to foo.pdf, shows me a
black on white figure.  When the presentation style is
white-on-blue, the pdf produced by pdflatex would include the figure
with white text and lines instead of the usual black.  Transparent parts
of the original figure are honored.

With the current versions of gs-esp, the outputed figure foo.pdf gets
incorporated as black on black (hence hard to read).

I have an example .eps file that have been converted to .pdf using both old and 
new
versions of gs-esp.  When pdflatex is run, the old versions match the
specified colors but the new versions don't.  For this reason, I believe
the bug is in gs-esp, and not pdflatex.  I've recompiled the source for
gs-esp_7.07.1, and the old version give me the desired bahavior.
