Anyone willing to take care of this package in the future, please update

I seems that the text-markup team could absorb this package (seems very
related).
If no one objects to this, I'll add it to the text-markup herd?
(and look at/fix the bug).

Do we really need this package?

There is ghostscript:
/usr/bin/ps2ascii

as well as:
/usr/bin/ps2pdf
+ poppler:
/usr/bin/pdftotext

Does that replace the functionality?
