Your reportbug version makes me think your're running Debian stable.
Bugs are not fixed in Debian stable unless they're security related
or can cause show stoppers.

Here is the version information from Debian unstable:

hille@kloetzer:~ $ dvips --version
dvips(k) 5.96.1
kpathsea version 3.5.6
Copyright (C) 2007 Radical Eye Software.

Hence I have to assume, that it works fine in Debian unstable. Can
you confirm this or provide a minimal example so I can check this?
Else I must assume that the bug is fixed in unstable and would like
to close it.

Thanks,
  Hilmar
