I was also trying to avoid what I felt would be the inevitable outcome of
just removing the depends espgs line -- a series of bugs claiming cups
needs espgs in order to work correctly (or pleas for help wondering why
it didn't work). Even with the text in the cups and espgs spells right
now, there are still people who claim it doesn't work and have to be told
how to do it correctly.

I just don't like the idea that rdispelling cups would lead to a system
without ghostscript installed, which would be the case in a combined
spell. ghostscript has many more uses than just being used by cups to
print ...

They could always cast another Ghostscript related spell. People can shoot
themselves in the foot in far worse ways than dispelling espgs.

A `cleanse --fix` would detect and fix that. We can't really stop
people completely from pulling the trigger. ;)
