Thanks for the report, but none of the changes you mention
make _compiling_ easier (though the ./debian/rules binary stuff
was indeed impossible on systems that didn't already have
gs installed.)

Well, that means at least that you don't understand what
#include "filename.h"
means (it means: first look in the current dir, and then look
in the other system include dirs for filename.h), and,
if your compiler actuall didn't allow you to compile the
wrapper without the above change, then it also means
that your C preprocessor doesn't understand it. That
would be very strange -- what compiler are you using?
(gcc 2.7.2.1-2 on my system seems to be OK).
But, you are right in saying that I should replace the
"" by <> in the source, the paper.h file isn't in the
./debian dir, so I can just as well use <>.

Wow that's serious! You really should have filed a bug when you
discovered this! (and this once more underlies the need for
the build stage to be done by ordinary users, not by root).
I changed those (and the ""-><> one) in my sources, will probably
be uploading new version soon.
Thanks,
