It was me setting it to normal. The term 'useless' I meant was not for
the full package, but only for pdfcrop. I was undecided, and raised
then back to important, but not because of the reason that I had a
patch, simply undecided about the 'importance' not having pdfcrop
working.

I agree here too with you! It would be defintively better if
ghostscript could be fixed. Upstream of pdfcrop however added himself
a workaround to pdfcrop to have pdfcrop working even with 'broken'
ghostscript version.

on the list would finde time for it!
