What is happening here is the following. With a standard Ubuntu Desktop installation Ghostscript is not able to render the file attached to this bug report. If one installs only the texlive-lang-cjk and nothing more (therefore "--no-install-recommends"), Ghostscript remders the attached file correctly.

This leads to the conclusion that adding the files contained in texlive-lang-cjk to the system fixes Ghostscript's problem to render the attached file.

Now a new problem occurs: If a package is installed, the system does not only install the requested package and its dependencies, but also all recommended packages. In our case we let Ghostscript recommend texlive-lang-cjk and so the system installs texlive-lang-cjk but also the packages which texlive-lang-cjk recommends, extra 40 unnecessary packages which take several 100 MB of space.

To not blow up the standard installation with unneeded stuff, I want to have texlive-lang-cjk added to the system, but nothing more.
