  Fix for Ghostscript 9.50 upstream bug needs to be back-ported

Status in ghostscript package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ghostscript source package in Focal:
  New

Bug description:
  Ghostscript 9.50 exhibits
  https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=701894 (fix the '--' and
  co options) which causes (eg) ocrfeeder to fail to load PDF files: an
  input file specified using the "... -- filename ..." command line
  syntax has no read permission in the GS interpreter.

  This commit fixes it:

  http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commit;h=24ec06a27df63297796a379c95ee5d4b39040410

  GS 9.52 includes the commit.

  Either apply the fix from the linked commit in the Focal-Updates
  version, or upgrade it to 9.52.
