    Description: transitional package for ghostscript
    This is a transitional package and can safely be removed.

    # dpkg -P ghostscript-x
    dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of ghostscript-x:amd64:
    gv depends on ghostscript-x.


    As the bug is RC now I've tried to contact the maintainer on two
    different addresses and did not get a response for 14 days. Hence
    I've uploaded an NMU containing just the fix for that dep to the
    "delayed 15 days queue" and informed the maintainer about this.
