You only needs cups/esp-gs sources for build. Right now, cups-pstoraster install a gnu-gs with cups device, without runtime and name changed. It's far better add the cups device (not the pstoraster scripts/config) to gs (any). so, gs will build-depend on cups-src (I prefer this over esp-gs) if you select the cups device (OPTION). and cups-pstoraster will run-depend on gs(you choose) and cups-base. -- josemi
