Bug#782901: ghostscript: missing dependency on TeX



Package: ghostscript
Version: 9.06~dfsg-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Having DVI from "other sources" then TeX. I've tried to PDF it.

This fails because DVIPDF complained, that DVIPS is missing.... which is a part
of TeX package, while TeX wain't installed on my system when I've experienced
that. Ghostscript, which owns DVIPDF does not depend on TeX ... and it should
not.

But may be depending the entire ghostscript package on TeX is not such a good
idea. I would think, that DVIPDF linking ghostscript to TeX, should
rather be moved to it's own package, depending on both.
