* debian/ghostscript-cups.postinst: 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.
* debian/rules: Remove /usr/bin/ps2pdf from the ghostscript package, it was
  treated by update-alternatives for a longer time already (LP: #429856).

* New upstream release
   o License is now GPLv3 or later
   o No functional change. This is only to let the final release not
     appear as a release candidate in the help output and documentation
     and also to reflect the new license.
* debian/copyright: License change.

debian/patches/43_add-cdnj500-driver.dpatch: Set rendering intent for
the "Presentation" quality in the "cdnj500" driver to "Perceptual", this
gives better colors than the original "SATURATION".

debian/control: Moved dependencies of ghostscript-cups on cups,
cups-client back to Depends:, for post-install this is sufficient.

55. By Till Kamppeter on 2009-06-01

debian/control: Moved dependencies of ghostscript-cups on cups,
cups-client, and perl-base to Pre-Depends:, as only this way it is
assured that these packages are configured (especially CUPS daemon
running) before this package gets configured (update of the PPDs of
existing queues).

54. By Till Kamppeter on 2009-05-26

debian/control: Removed unneeded "perl" from Depends:. This is only
needed for Perl applications, not for a simple "perl -p -e ..." in the
postinst script.

* debian/patches/53_fix-pstoraster-for-call-with-input-filename.dpatch:
  pstoraster did not work when called with an input file name as the 6th
  command line argument.

* debian/patches/50_ps2write-do-not-advertize-dsc-conformance.dpatch:
  The "ps2write" output device produces PostScript which is not
  DSC-conforming, so do not advertize it as DSC-conforming with a
  "%!PS-Adobe-..." magic string. Use "%!" instead. Otherwise the "pstops"
  CUPS filter cannot handle this output (LP: #377011).

* debian/patches/45_cups-device-pagesize-margins-duplex-fixes.dpatch:
  Fixed recognition of page size via /cupsPageSizeName. All page sizes were
  considered custom sizes if /cupsPageSizeName was not set.
