Ghostscript cannot recognize CJK CID fonts

[Mitsuya Shibata]

Why recognize:
Ghostscript(libgs9-common) install empty(comment only) cidfmap to
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.04/Release/Init.

This file has high priority than /var/lib/ghostscript/fonts/cidfmap
which is generated by update-gsfontmap. And /var/.../cidfmap included
CJK CID fonts data which is provided by gs-cjk-resource.

Therefore, any gs-cjk-resource data is ignored and CJK fonts can't
render in gs and Evince.

Why is there empty cidfmap:
debian/rules already try to remove empty cidfmap at
binary-post-install/libgs9-common target[1].

However this target specify to remove file path in $(DEB_DESTDIR)
which equal to "debian/tmp/"[2], and previous dh_install call moves
cidfmap to debian/libgs9-common to build package[3].

Threfore, there is empty cidfmap in debian/libgs9-common, ships with
binary package.

Conclusion or how to fix:
1. Upstream cidfmap is empty, is not needed, therefore can remove.
2. binary-post-install/libgs9-common in debian/rules will exec after
   to call dh_install, thefore we should to remove cidfmap in
   debian/PACKAGE_NAME/ is not in debian/tmp.

[2] http://build-common.alioth.debian.org/cdbs-doc.html#basic-settings
"This is automatically set to $(CURDIR)/debian/packagename if there
is one package and $(CURDIR)/debian/tmp if there are multiple packages."

[3] man dh_install
"On the other hand, maybe you have a large package that builds multiple
binary packages. You can use the upstream Makefile to install it all
into debian/tmp, and then use dh_install to copy directories and files
from there into the proper package build directories."
