Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ghostscript
The latest ghostscript package which has just been merged into intrepid
has a 300% size increase over the one in hardy, costing us 1.4MB of
space on the alternate CDs that we didn't have to spare:
728K ubuntu/pool/main/g/ghostscript/ghostscript_8.61.dfsg.1-1ubuntu3_amd64.deb
2.2M ubuntu/pool/main/g/ghostscript/ghostscript_8.63.dfsg.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
The primary cause of this appears to be that the newest upstream version
of ghostscript is shipping a number of PS1 fonts in
/usr/share/ghostscript/8.63/Resource/Font, which were not bundled
before.
I'm pretty sure all of these fonts are available elsewhere in the
archive, and probably on the install CD. They should be included by
reference if possible (i.e., depend on the package that provides them),
or if not, a way should be found to make these fonts optional for
ghostscript.
