This bug was fixed in the package ghostscript - 8.70.dfsg.1-0ubuntu2

---------------
ghostscript (8.70.dfsg.1-0ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low

  * debian/ghostscript-cups.postinst: Fixed "lpstat -r" check for the
    auto update of PPDs of existing queues. "lpstat -r" exits always with
    status 0, we must check the actual output. Call lpstat, lpadmin, and
    cupsctl with "-h /var/run/cups/cups.sock" to avoid querying remote
    servers set up in /etc/cups/client.conf, and asking for passwords.
    Thanks to Martin-Éric Racine for tracking this down and the solution!
    See Debian bug #543468. Use signal names instead of numbers for trap.
    Quiesces a lintian bashism warning.
  * debian/rules: Remove /usr/bin/ps2pdf from the ghostscript package, it was
    treated by update-alternatives for a longer time already (LP: #429856).
