`gs-aladdin-5.03': I've packaged it.
I needed to read a manual yesterday, and after upgrading to xlib6g,
was unable to run `gv' or `gs' to do so. So, I grabbed the source to
`gv' and rebuilt it. That worked fine, after one tiny fix. But it
cannot run without `gs'.
I ftp'd Aladdin GhostScript 5.03, (which took forever) and grabbed
the source .diff that goes with gs-aladdin-4.03, and went to work on
building a package so I can read that GWM manual.
I now have an installable and running package ready. I am prepared to
make a non-maintainer release, if that is OK with the current
maintainer of gs-aladdin. Here's the control file from the
debian/tmp/DEBIAN directory. The `Depends' are accurate, afaict.

Description: Postscript interpreter with X11 and svgalib preview support.
This version is Aladdin copy right, not GNU copyleft, see
/usr/doc/copyright/gs
Ghostscript is used for postscript preview and printing. Usually as
a back-end to a program such as ghostview, it can display postscript
documents in an X11 environment. It can also use the Linux svga
library to display documents graphically on the Linux console.
.
Furthermore, it can render postscript files as graphics to be printed
on non-postscript printers. Supported printers include common
dot-matrix, inkjet and laser models.
