Re: First package of Ghostscript 9.06

[Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>]

Note that the RC1/snapshot source tarball has an icclib/ directory in 
its original version. This made the impression for me that Ghostscript 
uses libicc somewhere, but it does not do so any more nowadays. I have 
talked with the upstream developers and the iclib/ directory and the 
references in the build system simply got forgotten. They will probably 
go away in 9.06 final.

Therefore I am preparing a new package now which drops the libicc-dev 
build dependency in debian/control. Please use that package instead of 
my first one (0ubuntu2).
