ghostscript 9.56.1~dfsg1-0ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

ghostscript (9.56.1~dfsg1-0ubuntu1) kinetic; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
    - New re-packaging of Ghostscript 9.56.1, keeping the leptonica and
      tesseract convenience copies in as they are not in Ubuntu Main. Added
      appropriate remark to debian/copyright.
    - Just mark all libtesseract symbols optional and be done with it.
      They are also arch-specific so causing build failures on non-x86.
  * Added upstream patch (commit 1f876cf) to have Ghostscript's
    "cups"/"pwgraster"/"appleraster"/"urf" output devices support working
    fully PPD-less, allowing to supply all parameters by command line. This
    makes the transition to cups-filters 2.x in Ubuntu 23.04 easier.
  * Updated debian/libgs9.symbols.
