But gs *is* in use as a prefix for gs-related packages:

$ apt-cache --names-only search ^gs- 
gs - The Ghostscript Postscript interpreter
gs-common - Common files for different Ghostscript releases
gs-esp - The Ghostscript Postscript interpreter - ESP version
gs-aladdin - The Ghostscript Postscript interpreter
gs-cjk-resource - Resource files for gs-cjk, ghostscript CJK-TrueType extension

I'd recommend not to use this.
