As current ghostscript-x has a versioned dependency that bug will no
longer happen with newer versions. But When (partial) upgrading from
lenny it still happens.

To avoid that I guess the easiest way is to add a hardcoded

Breaks: ghostscript-x (<< 8.64~dfsg-8)

(according to the changelog 8.64~dfsg-8 is the version where
ghostscript-x gets the strict dependency).
