ghostscript 9.18~dfsg~0-0ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

ghostscript (9.18~dfsg~0-0ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release
     - Ghostscript 9.18
     - A new method of internally inserting devices into the device chain has
       been developed, named "device subclassing". This allows suitably
       written devices to be more easily and consistently as "filter" devices.
       The first fruit of this is a new implementation of the
       "-dFirstPage"/"-dLastPage" feature which functions a device filter in
       the Ghostscript graphics library, meaning it works consistently with
       all input languages.
     - Plus the usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental
       improvements.
  * 020150523_d73a342_gdevcups_support_color_spaces_18_19_20.patch,
    020150724_0c0b085_sanity_check_for_memory_allocation.patch: Removed,
    included upstream.
  * 2001_docdir_fix_for_debian.patch,
    1002_pxl-make-dicctransform-default.patch: Refreshed with quilt.
  * debian/symbols.common: Updated for new upstream source. Applied patch
    which dpkg-gensymbols generated for debian/libgs9.symbols to this file.
