Bug Description

The binary packages python3-renderpm (source: python-reportlab) and libwmf0.2-7 (source: libwmf) depend on the gsfonts package and this dependency should be rplaced by fonts-urw-base35.

The purpose of the gsfonts package is providing the 35 standard PostScript fonts to Ghostscript, so that Ghostscript can render any standards-conforming PostScript file.

The gsfonts package got replaced by the fonts-urw-base35 packages. gsfonts is not maintained any more upstream (our package has the last upstream source update in 2007) and the upstream source locations mentioned in debian/copyright do not exist any more.

fonts-urw-base35 got promoted to Main (bug 1862048) and to get rid of the duplication in Main and also of the unmaintained package the dependencies in python3-renderpm and libwmf0.2-7 need to get updated.
