Title:
  Please replace the dependency on gsfonts by fonts-urw-base35

Status in libwmf package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in python-reportlab package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

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.
