Yes, it's more consistent. On the other hand, I very much dislike
Helvetica,

It's not clear to me what you expect and how it should work.
Letting PostScript ask for Helvetica which will let GhostScript fall

If I understand correctly, we currently ask for and embed the URW
version. But maybe printers have their own way to resubstitute the
original.
