Sorry, I forgot to warn the release team ahead.

Ghostscript upstream has bumped its SONAME.  There should be no breakage
(other than the kind of breakage already done in "9" releases, due to
security tightening of the internal Postscript interpreter), but yes it
requires a rebuild for those package directly linking with libgs.

I am frankly clueless about ben files and other transition magic, and
would appreciate if someone more skilled in the art can guide this
process.
