Merge Debian's defoma-removal patch from Deb Bug #582113

69. By Till Kamppeter

debian/patches/pdf-interpreter-segfault-fixes.dpatch,
debian/patches/cups-raster-fixes.dpatch,
debian/patches/fapi-buildchar-object-null-check.dpatch,
debian/patches/cups-raster-error-out-without-segfault-and-force-banding.dpatch,
debian/patches/cups-raster-fix-memory-reallocation.dpatch: Fixed several
problems in the PDF interpreter and the CUPS Raster output device of
Ghostscript to avoid Ghostscript erroring out or even crashing on many
input files when printing with a CUPS Raster driver (LP: 539708, upstream
bug #691014). Joined all changes on cups/gdevcups.c into one patch as
the patches are overlapping and parts of the old patches are undone.

Fix pdflatex preview mode.

debian/patches/cups-raster-error-out-without-segfault-and-force-banding.dpatch:
Make the "cups" output device (CUPS Raster) error out correctly without
causing segfaults and also force banding mode as some PDFs do not render
otherwise (LP: #534525).

* debian/patches/pdftoraster-wait-for-ghostscript.dpatch: pdftoraster exited
  already before its Ghostscript subprocess finished. Thanks to Tim Waugh
  from Red Hat for the fix.
* debian/patches/cups-raster-fix-memory-reallocation.dpatch: Fixed bug
  in memory reallocation on bitmap size changes. Color depth was not
  taken into account. This caused black pages to be printed with some
  CUPS Raster drivers, like Turboprint. Fixes upstream bugs #691029 and
  #691108.
* debian/patches/fix-broken-korean-example.dpatch: Fixed example file for
  rendering Korean text.

65. By Till Kamppeter

no-cant-refill-scanner-input-buffer-error.dpatch: Ghostscript errored out
when getting fed with the Ubuntu test page
(/usr/share/system-config-printer/testpage-a4.ps) on stdin giving a
"Can't refill scanner input buffer" error. (Upstream bugs #691137,
#690909).

64. By Till Kamppeter

* New upstream release
   o libtiff-based tiff file output
   o New "tiffsep1" output device produces halftoned separations at 1 bit
     per pixel
   o Improved FreeType-based font rasterizing (not yet used as default)
   o Improved graphics library for vector graphics conversions
   o Many bug fixes on the PCL-XL printer drivers ("pxlmono", "pxlcolor")
   o Fixes on back side handling for duplex printing in the CUPS Raster
     output device ("cups").
* debian/patches/gs-cups-rgb-gamma.dpatch,
  debian/patches/cljet5-mediasize-fix.dpatch,
  debian/patches/pxl-driver-fixes.dpatch,
  debian/patches/gs-cups-fix-backside-on-duplex-jobs.dpatch: Removed patches
  backported from upstream.
* debian/patches/fix-build-of-executables.dpatch: Fix build of the "gs"
  executable, it was built as a shared library and not as an executable.
  This lead to an immediate segfault even before "main()" got called.
  Thanks to Robin Watts from Ghostscript for the quick fix.
* debian/control: Added build dependency on libtiff-dev.
* debian/ghostscript.links: s/8.70/8.71/

debian/patches/gs-cups-fix-backside-on-duplex-jobs.dpatch: The "cups"
output device (generating input for the CUPS Raster drivers) did not
update the margins and page orientation for the back sides in time and
so the back side was often the wrong way around, especially with printers
which print the back sides backwards, like HP inkjets. The problem occurs
only with PostScript as input and not with PDF, which made the bug not
showing in Ubuntu and Debian. This change is applied to Ubuntu's
Ghostscript so that Lucid users regression-test it before Ghostscript
8.71 gets released in February (HPLIP upstream bug: LP: #484928).

62. By Till Kamppeter

debian/patches/pxl-driver-fixes.dpatch: Several upstream bug fixes
on the PCL-XL drivers ("pxlcolor"/"pxlmono") in Ghostscript, especially
also for PDF input. Thanks to Hin-Tak Leung on putting all that work
into this driver which stayed nearly untouched for around 10 years.
(LP: #361772).

61. By Till Kamppeter

debian/patches/cljet5-mediasize-fix.dpatch: Upstream fix for the media
size handling of the "cljet5" printer driver.
