For foxtrotgps, I committed upstream a change that makes writing the
EPS images only happen when creating the DVI/PS documentation formats.

https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~foxtrotgps-team/foxtrotgps/trunk/revision/330

The foxtrotgps Debian package does not use DVI/PS, so I can just
introduce a hack removing the EPS building from the Makefile if needed.

I think that switching the ImageMagick policy so that it allows writes
to PS/PS2/PS3/EPS/PDF/XPS/etc but not reads would fix the FTBFS and
possibly also stop security issues in GhostScript from being triggered?
