Well, what the packaging guidelines actually say is that you shouldn't install
any font without using fontpackages-devel templates and macros or splitting
fonts per family, which means all font packages have the same implementation
and there is no risk of single-package regression.

I appreciate that ghostscript antedates the consolidation work that went into
current font packaging guidelines, but maybe it's time to align it with them?

Also TEX people have spent many years cleaning up and modernizing gs fonts. It
would be worthwhile to package the tex gyre family and use them as replacement,
dropping all legacy font formats and core font calls. I *think* tex gyre
licensing is finally clean and safe (but you'd need to check with spot)
