Just admit, that your explanation was incorrect! Also looking at
`changelog.Debian.gz` I did not deduce that you are the maintainer.
Sorry about that.

Wanting to print a simple PDF text file and having to wait for a 30
pages document over half an hour or even longer for it to process is
indeed release critical in my opinion!

Printing is one of the most needed and most basic stuff computers are
used for. More even in cooperate environments.

I do not know if you read my other reply. But I *am* trying to help
fixing this bug. And reporting this upstream was *not* possible, because
the Ghostscript bug tracker [1] is currently down.

And it does not seem needed anymore as I wrote in my other reply.


Thanks,

Paul
