That's what I've been saying all along.
But Christoph thought the problem of not being able to install
gs on a "Webserver" (that does have X installed, but cannot for some
reason have svgalib installed, whatever that reason may be) was so
serious, that it had to be fixed NOW, in stable.
I just asked this list if there were other people that agree
with Christoph on this, but so far I haven't seen anybody respond.
