Right now, I'm going to try testing if listing gs-common in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove helps.
I can't come up with a recipe for reproducing this that uses apt (apt-get OR aptitude), not just dpkg --unpack. So I'm at a roadbloack; I can't do the experiment because I don't have a control.
To be specific, in my minimal etch chroot, after setting sources.list to lenny, doing aptitude dist-upgrade does not trigger the failure, nor does aptitude install perl-modules ghostscript.
I'll sleep on it and see if I can come up with a way to reproduce it that could test the proposed 01autoremove fix.
