Please split "libijs" into its own package. Rationale: Long I had the impression I needed ghostscript to be able to print (to my non-PostScript) printer. But checking dependencies, I see that cups-filters only needs libijs-0.35.so from the ghostscript package. If my analysis is correct, libijs does not have any dependencies besides glibc. I found no reference to calling a ghostscript binary either. In other words, I could remove the dinosaur ghostscript package, if that library was in a separate package. Recent discussions about security of ghostscript suggests that it isn't a wanted package either.
