Last November I asked the same question on this list. The answer
was: "Install gs-esp, and do "update-alternatives --config gs".

You do not need gs-aladdin and vflib to print Japanese. Just
ordinary gs works (with gs-cjk-resource), but because of a bug,
gs-esp has to be used instead of gs. See the archives of this list
(November 2003).
