[MIR] gs-cjk-resource

[Till Kamppeter]

Binary package hint: gs-cjk-resource

Availability: Currently in Universe, "Architecture: all" pure data package

Rationale: Package should replace the CMap files of the Resource/CMap directory of the ghostscript package. This package is straightly connected to the real upstream of the files, Adobe (see debian/copyright). In ghostscript the Ghostscript upstream developers take the files from Adobe and then we from the Ghostscript upstream developers. This package also ships additional files for CJK.

Security: This package is pure data. Therefore security vulnerabilities are not possible.

Quality assurance: Package has no user interaction. It will be pulled by a dependency in ghostscript from 9.01~dfsg-1 on and then automatically be used, without any configuration changes. It does not use debconf, so there will be no user interaction required during installation. There are no bugs in it which got reported to Ubuntu. On Debian regular updates happen and Ubuntu's package seems to be synced with Debian, according to debian/changelog.

Maintenance: Synced with Debian. We can keep it this way,

The packaging is kind of intense, but since this is data only and well maintained by Debian, approved. Would be nice to see an Ubuntu bug subscriber though.

It didn't build in my pbuilder, but did locally with debuild and in a PPA, so must have been something out of whack with my pbuilder.

I have uploaded ghostscript 9.01~dfsg-1ubuntu1 which depends on gs-cjk-resource.

Can someone please pass gs-cjk-resource into main before FF? Thanks.
