AndyRTR, as the ghostscript packager, question for you: would it
be an option, in ghostscript, to add a symlink from
/usr/share/ghostscript/$VERSION to /usr/share/ghostscript/current,
so that groff could check in current and only rebuild when
strictly necessary? That way, it wouldn't need to get fixed every
time there's a ghostscript version bump.
Side note: there is also a groff configuration file that can be
edited as a temporary workaround:
/usr/share/groff/$VERSION/font/devpdf/download contains a list of
paths checked for ghostscript fonts, so if tpowa still has the
built package lying around, an edit to this file and repackaging
should hopefully do the trick in the short term.
