debian/patches/40_pdfwrite-numcopies.dpatch: PDF output device of
Ghostscript did not take into account /#copies or /NumCopies in the
PostScript input, which made some applications, like OpenOffice.org
print only one copy also if more than one copy is requested. No
Ghostscript prints multiple copies with "pdfwrite" if it is called
with "-dDoNumCopies" (LP: #320391, upstream bug #690355).
