I'm not convinced, that this is a good idea. gl2ps is a very small
library and several packages (including scientific ones) are using
internal copies of gl2ps.

I fear that packaging it will put pressure on all those maintainers,
whose packages use gl2ps source code to use the packaged version of
gl2ps. And I cannot see the benfit here. I expect, that this will be a
lot of work without much help from upstream authors of affected
software.

Which packages are expected to use this library atm (not counting those,
who ship a copy of gl2ps.c,h)?

Regards, Daniel
