There used to exist the opinion that it is not very cumbersome to have two ghostscripts installed, but I think this should be rethought. And there should be a system-ghostscript8, in any case. OTOH, ghostscript6 and its system package could be scrapped.
The current situation with support for several ghostscript versions dates from an ancient period when ghostscript was changing rapidly and there were several competing distributions. AFAICT this is over now. Nobody is using ghostscript6 any more, and ghostscript7 is a leftover, too, used only by some legacy code.
Actually, even the fink ghostscript8 package is very old. I have been using a modified one that replaces version 8.00 by 8.11 for several months without any problem.
