Package: ghostscript
Version: 8.71~dfsg2-3
Severity: wishlist

The man page says ghostscript is also a PDF previewer.

       gs - Ghostscript (PostScript and PDF language interpreter and previewer)

But does not in any way explain how to preview a PDF file.

All I know is if I want to view a PDF file, I must use
$ xpdf file.pdf

There is no equivalent I see mentioned there on the Ghostscript man
page.

Or maybe "preview" is not the same as "view".

There used to be a "gv" or "ghostview" but that seems to be gone from Debian.

I just tried "gs file.pdf" and it does show a preview window; tested with 
ghostscript 10.02.1.
