debian ghostscript does not support epson printers. its missing the
stp driver which seems to be the only way rumored to make the damn
things work. personally i gave up on it and found a user apple
laserwriter, it has postscript support and is thus trivial to make
work.

either the ssh in sid has a new release critical bug, or it is not
synced on all archetectures, or it depends on something not in
testing, or the maintainer keeps uploading new versions/builds of it
so it never gets the mandatory 10 day aging process completed. there
is an update-excuses page somewhere that gives vague clues as to why a
package fails the testing script.
