I absolutely agree. I removed a2ps and a2gs from my system since you said
that and use genscript instead. Works well. I even have an alias for 'a2ps'
(not exactly the complete behaviour, but correct for the way I used a2ps):
genscript -p -
Are a2ps and a2gs orphaned? If so let's remove them. If not what do the
maintainers think?
