I don't think that `gv' needs to depend on the `gsfonts' package,
since it depends upon `gs' | `gs-aladdin', which should depend on
`gsfonts' in some way.
Checking, I find that `gs-aladdin 5.10-3' and `gs 3.33-6' both have
"Recommends:" dependencies on `gsfonts'. Perhaps these should be
"Requires:" rather than "Recommends:"? Why are they "Recommends:"
right now?
The person installing the postscript interpreter needs to be informed
of the requirement for fonts.
