Package: gs-common
Version: 0.3.13
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/ps2pdfwr
When converting an eps file with psd2pdfwr, the bounding box is
lost. Just passing the -dEPSCrop option to gv does the trick. See the
patched version attached.

Quote from related upstream bug [1]:
IMHO, making -dEPSCrop the default is misleading and results in non-conforming
behavior. I think this bug should be closed as "WONTFIX" since changes will
change the documented behavior (that has been in place for YEARS).
As far as the original bug report, someone wanting to convert an EPS to a
PDF such that the EPS BBox will be the PDF MediaBox should use -dEPSCrop.
Others should not use this option.
Given that, and lack of change for years, I'm closing this bug.
