It means that ghostscript needs to be updated to do what Jay says. I
think there are several options shy of waiting for a few months, such as
making sure there's a bug filed against ghostscript about this problem
to make sure the maintainer is aware (off-hand I don't see one), providing
a patch, etc. Both of the maintainers of ghostscript are fairly active
developers.
