Package: libgs9-common Version: 9.06~dfsg-2+deb8u1 Severity: wishlist
I used the sample command line at http://ghostscript.com/doc/current/Ps2pdf.htm#PDFA and followed the advice given in http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=691448 to change the line /ICCProfile (ISO Coated sb.icc) % Customize. to /ICCProfile (/usr/share/color/icc/ghostscript/srgb.icc) % Customize The result is brian@desktop:~$ gs -dPDFA=1 -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sColorConversionStrategy=/RGB -sOutputFile=out.pdf $HOME/PDFA_def.ps in.pdf GPL Ghostscript 9.06 (2012-08-08) Copyright (C) 2012 Artifex Software, Inc.

It would be nice if a point release of Debian 8 could incorporate this fix. Or is it not possible or desirable to alter a package in stable in such a way?
