After splitting ghostscript into -main and -cups, there are some
problems:
- the three FLAVORS (a4, gtk, no_x11) don't make any sense for the
-cups subpackage, but they're still neded for -main. Is it possible to
drop all flavors for a specific subpackage?
- the -cups subpackage needs some @pkgpath markers for people updating
from the (old) ghostscript-8.63-cups package; and from the
ghostscript-8.63-a4-cups pacakge etc. I know we have a fancy new
syntax for @pkgpath since some weeks now, but do we have any smart way
to match `any flavor'? If not, i guess something like
@pkgpath print/ghostscript/gnu[,a4][,gtk][,no_x11]
should be used. Right?
