Common denominator for what?

I don't think Ghostscript has any "default page layout to use when fed 
weakly expressed input" nor just "default font size to use when lacking 
from input".  Sounds like those are what you are seeking a common 
denominator for.

If Iceweasel needs Ghostscript to compose its Postscript/PDF, then I 
guess it was supposed to at least suggest it.

Perhaps try remove ghostscript and libgs9 and see if Iceweasel can still 
produce (broken) PDF.
