I have done another upload of Ghostscript 9.06 now
(9.06~dfsg~20120803-0ubuntu1). It has a new repackaging, leaving the
code of libopenjpeg in. I use the Ghostscript-shipped libopenjpeg as the
upstream developers of Ghostscript have done major changes on it and
these changes did not make it into the upstream libopenjpeg yet. In
addition, the Ghostscript developers has deprecated the libjasper
support as with this lib there are major performance problems:

This will hopefully the best compromise for now to get PDF files with
embedded JPX/JPEG2000 images render correctly (without white holes where
the images should be) and with a reasonable speed.

Note that the RC1/snapshot source tarball has an icclib/ directory in
its original version. This made the impression for me that Ghostscript
uses libicc somewhere, but it does not do so any more nowadays. I have
talked with the upstream developers and the iclib/ directory and the
references in the build system simply got forgotten. They will probably
go away in 9.06 final.
Therefore I am preparing a new package now which drops the libicc-dev
build dependency in debian/control. Please use that package instead of
my first one (0ubuntu2).

I have uploaded the first package of GS 9.06 (RC1 + some GIT revs).
The source package will get available on Launchpad in some minutes.
You can use it for back-merging to experimental and as preparation for
the final GS 9.06.
All 1... and 0... patches are incorporated now. The Resource/CMap/ is
all free so you do not worry about it any more when repackaging the
source tarball. Note that the external icclib use got somehow dropped.
I have recovered it and removed the local icclib when repackaging.
Quite exciting!
I'll have a look at it soon!
