This looks like too much work to implement for each package separately.
And as a permanent solution, I do not like it.

This would be one option. Or we could add another package, corresponding
to the previous definition, that we would use only as an input to the
packages in core-updates that do not build right now. This solution could
be implemented using copy-paste and not take much time. I would then also
remove the ad-hoc lilypond patching.

Then after core-updates is merged, we could add the gs->gsc link to our
ghostscript packages.

What do you think?
