ghostscript 9.01~dfsg~svn12005-0ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

ghostscript (9.01~dfsg~svn12005-0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
     o SVN snapshot rev. 12005
     o DSC-conforming PostScript output of "ps2write" (Upstream bug #688495)
     o Skip color management for non-standard color spaces (Upstream bug
       #691760)
    We skipped Ghostscript 9.00 in Ubuntu. New features from that release:
     o ICC-profile-based color management
     o Postscript interpreter's graphics state now stores two separate colour
       space settings for stroking and filling, to better support the stroke
       and fill colours required by the PDF interpreter.
     o PDF-interpreter: Support for optional content, improved support of
       JPX images in PDF files.
     o For security reasons, Ghostscript no longer searches the current
       directory by default. Use -P option to revert to old behavior.
     o Bug fixes.
    In addition to the non-free files in Resource/CMap/ and the source-less
    PDFs in jasper/ excluded superfluous subdirs expat, freetype, icclib, ijs,
    jasper, jbig2dec, lcms, libpng, tiff, and zlib when repackaging upstream
    tarball. This reduces the tarball from 27 MB to 17 MB and eliminates the
    need to mention these libraries in the debian/copyright file. Used the
    command line "grep -li 'not altered' Resource/CMap/* | xargs rm" to
    remove the non-free CMap files. The files Resource/CMap/Identity-UTF16-{HV}
    are included again as they are from Artifex and not from Adobe, so they
    fall under Artifex' license.
  * debian/patches/: Dropped all patches except the two Debian-specific ones.
    The patches were either backported from upstream or they are incorporated
    upstream now. So we have a near patch-free Ghostscript again.
  * debian/rules: Removed Resource/CMap/Identity-UTF16-{HV} from
    upstream source repackaging check.
  * debian/rules: Removed obsolete "--disable-cairo" option from the
    ./configure command line.
  * debian/rules: Determine ABI version number correctly also if we have an
    SVN snapshot with "~svnXXXX" added to the upstream version number.
  * Removed DEB_CLEAN_EXCLUDE definition, as the patch noise is removed
    upstream.
  * debian/symbols.common: Updated for new upstream source. Applied patch
    which dpkg-gensymbols generated for debian/libgs9.symbols to this file.
  * debian/ubuntu/apport-hook.py: Moved to debian/ubuntu/, to make implementing
    a common Debian/Ubuntu VCS repository easier.
  * debian/copyright: Added info about apport-hook.py and
    Resource/CMap/Identity-UTF16-{HV}.
  * Changes overtaken from Debian with the merge:
     o Use source format 3.0 "quilt" (and not patchsys-quit.mk). Updated
       README.source: normal builds need no special handling now.
     o Patches are now managed with quilt
     o debian/patches/README: Documented new patch naming scheme
     o Renamed the two debian-specific patches according to the new naming
       scheme.
     o debian/symbols.common: Updated.
     o debian/rules: Check completeness of debian/copyright file (fonts not
       checked).
     o debian/rules: Check whether source tarball is correctly repackaged.
     o Added static library /usr/lib/libgs.a to -dev package.
     o Use FreeType/FAPI disabled as it is still immature.
     o Automatic upstream/ABI version check/update/warning for debian/control.
     o Handle package dependencies in debian/rules, let debian/control be
       appropriately generated.
  * Merged 9.00 from debian experimental. Remaining Ubuntu-specific changes:
     o Apport hook
     o Updated post-install script of ghostscript-cups: 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.
     o Do not remove the CMap files as we do not use DeFoMa any more.
     o Purge old defoma stuff to avoid warnings from defoma when updating
       other packages which still use defoma (in debian/ghostscript.preinst).
     o Use Ubuntu version numbers in debian/ghostscript.preinst
     o Removed CMap link in debian/ghostscript.links.in
