Agreed.  I plead ignorance about these particular dependencies.

Compare Bug#613580 (advocating changing the dependency by libgs9 to a
Recommends) and Bug#613597 (requesting clarification of
gs-cjk-resource's other dependencies).

Anyway, it looks like any one of the two packages could fix this, so
reassigning.

Thanks for reporting,
