rather, I think very few software may be as annoying about their
dependencies output as diffoscope is. And anyway it's only the
testsuite of diffoscope that it is.

Diffoscope was later been updated to only check the output of ps2ascii
if the version reported was >= 9.21.
I think if that output change was to happen in a stable release and I
were asked to fix diffoscope, I'd just disable that one, rather the
going around asking dpkg what debian revision ghostscript has…
