This is wrong, or at least the new PDF *interpreter* (which is, in my
understanding, not to be confused with the PDF driver to output PDF) in
itself is not to blame here: The new interpreter was already enabled by
default in Ghostscript 9.56 and this version still works perfectly
fine, yielding small PDF sizes together with extractpdfmark.
