In addition, the reason for the versioned dependency by
gs-cjk-resource on ghostscript doesn't seem to be documented anywhere.

What is that dependency meant to accomplish?  I'm particularly worried
since an old version of libgs can still be in use via libraries
linking to it even after ghostscript has been upgraded.  Would a
Breaks: on some appropriate versions of libgs or libgs-common work
instead?

Thanks for keeping the cmap files nicely packaged.

Sincerely,
Jonathan
