Bug#801395: libgs9-common: Unable to produce a PDF/A on Debian 8

Upstream chose to relicense Ghostscript from GPL-3+ to AGPL-3+.

There is a real risk of users relying on current stable licensing, so we 
need to ask upstream for relicensing of code we cherry-pick for stable.

Other than that, I see not problem in getting this fixed in stable.
