I've checked:
Only in win32libs-bin: ghostscript openldap runtime-ce xerces-c - openldap we have an alternative in testing. - runtime-ce should go to libs or binary category (libs is the place where runtime-multi is located) - xerces-c we need for libkolabxml and also have started on a source package in testing This makes ghostscript the last package for which we not already have, or are working on, a source package.
