Package: libgs9
Version: 9.00~dfsg-3
Severity: normal

Hi there!

What is the rationale for the dependency on gs-cjk-resource?  The
description for the latter reads:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Description: Resource files for gs-cjk, ghostscript CJK-TrueType extension
 This package contains several resource files (actually Adobe CMaps) to
 use CJK TrueType fonts with gs.
 .
 gs-cjk enables ghostscript to handle CJK TrueType fonts through CID-keyed
 font technology. In addition to this package, a language-specific CMap
 package (named cmap-adobe-*) and a TrueType font package (ttf-*) is
 needed.
 .
 Japanese: needs cmap-adobe-japan1 and ttf-kochi-mincho |
  ttf-kochi-gothic.
 Korean: needs cmap-adobe-korea1 and ttf-unfonts-core.
 Traditional-Chinese: needs cmap-adobe-cns1 and ttf-arphic-ukai |
  ttf-arphic-uming.
 Simplified-Chinese: needs cmap-adobe-gb1 and ttf-arphic-ukai |
  ttf-arphic-uming.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I do not nothing about CJK and I do not write anything in Japanese,
Korean or Chinese.  Which also means that I have installed none of the
cmap-adobe-* packages.

This seems to me an example where you want Recommends: instead of
Depends:, as I explained (without success) on #604926:

  <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?archive=yes&bug=604926#44>

Thx, bye,

PS1, I reported the bug to the version which introduced the dependency
     (9.00~dfsg-3), different from the one installed (9.01~dfsg-1).

PS2, gs-cjk-resource needs two packages to be fully functional:
     cmap-adobe-* and ttf-*, but only the former are listed as
     Recommends:, with the latter being only as Suggests:, which is IMHO
     a bug, both should be at the same level, according to the
     Description:...

Dependency was dropped in ghostscript (9.15~dfsg-1), released in 2015.
