A packaging release including above is now being built for Debian
experimental, with the following exceptions regarding the newly added
ghostscript-cups package:
* does not conflict with older cups: Unneeded for any cups release
part of an official Debian distribution release. If the need is
Ubuntu-specific, then please add such quirks locally to Ubuntu fork
of the package.
* replaces older ghostscript, to ease upgrades due to contents overlap
* recommends (not depends on) cups and cups-client, to avoid circular
depends
* improved indentation in postinst script
* long description does not include historic notes
* changelog entry shortened, and bug-closures added.
Please elaborate on those changes if you feel that I overlooked or
misunderstood something, or if you in other ways disagree with my
judgement.
As soon as the ghostscript package currently in unstable, 8.64~dfsg-7,
has entered testing, I will rerelease these changes for unstable
(possibly including any changes regarding above that you might suggest).
Kind regards,
- Jonas
