Wow... finally found the root of the problem I've been seeing for a few
days now.

Print jobs have been silently being queued on my print server, and
there's no useful information in cups as to why this is happening.

As far as I know, this is the only thing that has changed recently in
the cups toolchain, so I can only assume the gs-* -> ghostscript
transition is to blame (somehow).



With regard to the /usr/bin/gs disappearing, it seems to be due to the
fact that /usr/bin/gs used to be an alternative but is no longer one...
the alternatives system doesn't seem to reliably be made aware of this
change, so when one does "update-alternatives --auto gs", /usr/bin/gs is
blown away after the upgrade to the ghostscript package.
