I did not even know that pstotext exists, even not back in the early
2000s when I established CUPS as Linux' standard printing environment.
So can be removed, nobody will miss it ...

Hi,
I randomly bumped into a reference to "pstotext" just now -- from ps2ascii
manpage.
The pstotext package was removed from testing in 2018 due to grave bug
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=895513
The last upstream release was 2004 and there is no trace of upstream on the
internet that I can see. There's a wayback capture from mid 2007 but it was
removed shortly afterwards.

To me, it seems that this should just be completely removed from Debian.
I'll file a removal bug unless there are objections?
