examining the two packages, I can confirm that the fonts included in
gsfonts are newer than the ones provided by ghostscript upstream.
ghostscript upstream does, however, include two fonts that gsfonts does
not (Dingbats and StandardSymL). So these two fonts should be shipped
by ghostscript, whereas the others should continue to be provided by
gsfonts for the time being.
I don't see any reason at all to modify the original ghostscript source,
we just need to not ship the fonts in the binary package.
I suggest the following:
- recombine ghostscript-fonts into ghostscript proper (needs a replaces:, etc.,
for upgrades).
- depend only on gsfonts.
- strip the fonts provided by gsfonts out of the ghostscript binary package.
- (optionally?) provide symlinks mapping the gsfonts to the file names
ghostscript looks for them under.
