ghostscript-8.50 packaging question

This is a reasonable question.  For this release I did not try to change the
structure developed by the previous maintainer, and for which I am aware of no
particular complaints.  However, I am willing to try to improve the structure
of the package for future releases.  In particular I wish to move from "Method
1" to "Method 2" for the packaging.

However I am not persuaded that there is an actual problem here.  I don't think
it is intended that both ghostscript and ghostscript-x11 be installed, but
rather one or the other.  In this case, the overlapping of files between the
two packages is not a bug, but a feature.  It should probably be documented
more carefully in a README, however.
