This file is now available in fonts-urw-base35 as
/usr/share/fonts/type1/urw-base35/StandardSymbolsPS.afm

I'd suggest, that scalable-cyrfonts should Build-Depend on
fonts-urw-base35 instead of gsfonts and use
/usr/share/fonts/type1/urw-base35/StandardSymbolsPS.afm instead of
/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/s050000l.afm.
