I expect that

ps2pdf teszt.pdf teszt2.pdf

creates teszt2.pdf such that its content is equivalent to teszt.pdf.
Especially the metadata reported by pdfinfo is presereved except where a change 
is useful (e.g. change modification date or add ghostscript to producer).

However, this is not the case:

$ pdfinfo teszt.pdf
Title:          Silly title
Subject:        test file

File size:      3191 bytes
Optimized:      no
PDF version:    1.4

In particular, I dislike losing the title, author, subject, keywords and 
creator.

The two files (teszt.pdf and the result of ps2pdf, which is teszt2.pdf) are 
attached.

Tested with ghostscript 10.02.1 and found the metadata was preserved:
