For Debian I will continue to link against separately maintained 
libopenjpeg, and either live with shortcomings of current release, wait 
for a newer release, or convince libopenjpeg Debian maintainers to 
include the patches needed for Ghostscript.

Thanks anyway for sharing.  I'll keep an extra eye on libopenjpeg 
linkage.

Seems from reading that bugreport that a) was fixed in 9.05, b) the 
performance problem only occurs when JPEG2000 data is actually present, 
and c) the workaround of not linking against libjasper causes the images 
to be skipped - to me broken output seems worse than slow rendering.

...or did I misunderstand something?
