Hi,
Good to know - we just have not yet noticed :-) In the past we had to ship
the espgs by default for CUPS to work at all.
According to your information we could then remove the espgs and just
enable the gpl-ghostscript by default if cups still works in this case.
Maybe you want to provide a patch switching over?
The fact is that I am using gpl-ghostscript quite rarely for cups, for me
it works for some PS-PDF related tasks. So I would not dare to state it
does work definitely for cups. At the same time according to the website
it should, since espgs is merged into gpl-ghostscript in 2006. On 14th
March 2007 last espgs (v8.5.14) was released. Since then in August 2007
"The Grand Unified Ghostscript Officially Released: GPL Ghostscript 8.60"
(actually already 8.63) and it was recommended for use in Linux
distributions.
So even if there may be some regressions in gpl-ghostscript with CUPS not
yet raised, espgs is closed, and all its developers are working on
gpl-ghostscript instead. So gpl-ghostscript is the package to focus on I
am sure about that.
Apparently works with CUPS, and disabled for some time already (by default):

* disabled ESP ghostscript and enabled GPL one (this is the recommended
one and currently in active development)
We now dropped the old EPS times ghostscript and moved the gpl-ghostscript
(read renamed) over it:
Committed revision r30558.
