Package: ghostscript

I have made a new Ubuntu package of Ghostscript (in Karmic) to fix some bugs and to add the "cdnj500" driver for the HP DesignJet 500 and 800.

Most important change is that the "ps2write" device does not segfault on the testfile.pdf of the CUPS test suite any more, so that we can use it for CUPS filters (see http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=690475). Using "ps2write" in the pdftops CUPS filter solves several problems occuring with the currently used "pswrite" device:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/361772
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362186
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/369503

Once you have uploaded Ghostscript into Debian, Martin Pitt and me will switch over the pdftops filter in the CUPS package and upload it into both Debian and Ubuntu.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
