I have built it on my local machine running a fully up-to-date Saucy.
The build server is not able to build it because the libopenjpeg package
is not in Ubuntu Main, but only in Universe. It is in the process to be
transferred to Main, but this takes longer than expected.
See
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjpeg/+bug/711061
Currently, this transfer is on the TODO list of a security guy at Canonical.
The previous Ghostscript versions in Ubuntu (9.06 and 9.07) used the
libopenjpeg coming with Ghostscript, as the GS developers have added API
s which did not make it into upstream libopenjpeg that time.
