I guess you need only worry about me expressing myself clearly :-)There is absolutely *no* plans or considerations about removing GPL Ghostscript from Debian!
What I consider is to readd an alternative Ghostscript fork. And one of the benefits of doing that was that Debian or a derivative then had the option to leave out GPL Ghostscript from a *release*. Not from the archive.
