Quoting from the pstoedit's manpage (note that it's an option available
only in the buster+ package):
|[-rdb]
|
|Since version 3.10 pstoedit uses the -dDELAYBIND option when calling
|Ghostscript. But in version 9.22 of GhostScript, that option is not

tbh, I'd prefer Ghostscript to be updated, as in #897407
