Bug#926576: This also affects stretch (cups-filters 1.11.6-3)

[Martin von Wittich <martin.von.wittich@iserv.eu>]

Hi,

this also affects stretch:

> server ~ # apt-cache policy cups-filters
> cups-filters:
>   Installiert:           1.11.6-3
>   Installationskandidat: 1.11.6-3
>   Versionstabelle:
>  *** 1.11.6-3 500
>         500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian stretch/main amd64 Packages
>         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Today a ghostscript update was released that broke printing for us:

> server ~ # grep upgrade /var/log/dpkg.log | tail -n3
> 2019-05-13 02:58:10 upgrade ghostscript:amd64 9.26a~dfsg-0+deb9u2 9.26a~dfsg-0+deb9u3

Can we get a backport for stretch too?
