Pinning is one approach, yes.  Another is to only temporarily subscribe 
to unstable and pay close attention to which packages gets installed 
when requesting to update the ghostscript package (use aptitude in 
fullscreen mode rather that apt-get!).  A thir aproach is to download 
and install using dpkg.

If all of those feel scary, then there is the option of waiting until it 
enters testing :-)
