Hi,

libgs8 in squeeze requires files from /usr/share/ghostscript/8.71 but
does not declare a corresponding dependency on ghostscript.  Worse,
it could make the transition to libgs9 in wheezy difficult because
later versions of ghostscript do not satisfy that dependency.
(Bug#485621)

The straightforward fix is to move those files from the ghostscript
package to libgs8, which Jonas implemented.

Please unblock it if it looks sane.  I've tested that the package at
installs and behaves as advetised in various scenarios but haven't
reviewed the diff (attached) yet.  The updated libgs8 seems to work
well with evince.  In the worst case a user can install ghostscript on
top to return to the old minimal supported configuration.

unblock ghostscript/8.71~dfsg2-8

Actually I unblocked and aged -9 earlier today, so it's in testing as of
tonight's britney run.
