configure and guile

[Laura Conrad]

I'm attempting to build 2.5.19 on debian unstable.  Configure seems to
be reasonably happy now, but is still complaining about gs:

WARNING: Please consider installing optional programs:  /usr/bin/gs >= 8.15 
(installed: 7.07.1)

7.07.1 is not actually true -- when I "apt-get install gs" I get:

[lilypond-2.5.19]# dpkg -l gs
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name           Version        Description
+++-==============-==============-============================================
ii  gs             8.01-5         Transitional package

but of course that's still not >= 8.15.

When I do "apt-cache search gs", I see that in addition to vanilla gs
(gs-gpl), there is also gs-aladdin and gs-afpl, both of which are
8.14.  Does anyone know a source for a debian package of >= 8.15?  The
ghostscript.com site has afpl versions of 8.14 and 8.5 as tarballs.  I
would guess that 8.5 isn't in the normal Debian Unstable feeds for a
reason.
