gs-common package depends on gsfonts package, what if I don't want to
use these Type 1 fonts at all, and would purge the gsfonts package.
Would GS work with TTF fonts which are on my system instead?

If that would work, than maybe the 'Depends: gsfonts' dependency of
gs-common could be changed to Recommends ?
