Hmm, I was very confused.  In fact I wish to say;

If this is true then G might be good for default setting, IMHO.

I tested more.

with \usepackage{times}, and with 'G'       bad ligature
with \usepackage{times}, and with '%G'      good
without \usepackage{times}, and with 'G'    good
without \usepackage{times}, and with '%G'   good

There might be possibility that "without \usepackage{times}, and with '%G'"
causes trouble but I have no concrete examples.

And as Connelly suggested, the command option '-G0' suppress
the effects of 'G' in config.pdf.  But it seems there is no
explanation in info of dvips concerning '-G' command-line option nor
configuration file commands.

I agreed the above comments.  The solution seems to explain this 
situation in some document (README.Debian?).
