I'm very surprised to hear that - in my experience the vanilla
ghostscript-aladdin with potato (5.5) generates perfectly fine PDF, with
the one (significant) exception of bitmapped non-standard fonts. I built
gs7.01 from source (with very little trouble) which fixed that
problem. Now ps2pdf works just great.
