NACK. They are _extra_ fonts:
http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=blob_plain;f=Resource/Init/Fontmap.GS

Well, the ghostscript-fonts might be *extra* fonts, but they are only being used by ​'hylafax+' package ATM. Ghostscript is *NOT* using these fonts anymore. They are many years old (and outdated). These fonts are completely irrelevant and obsoleted nowadays.

The Fontmap.GS you have shared actually uses fonts from urw-base35-fonts package, not ghostscript-fonts. You would see the names mapping there if you look closely.

I'm ACKing this request as the maintainer of ghostscript and urw-base35-fonts.
