Phiew, finally almost done. There's one more patch for groff at bug# 27593 in
order to set the environment variable GS_GENERATE_UUIDS to "0".

gnu: ghostscript: Make "/ID" optional, depending on environment
variable.
gnu: ghostscript: Make XMP UUID headers optional, depending on
environment variable.
