Bug#455645: evince: Should depend on ghostscript-x

I believe it should (also or instead) depend on ghostscript-x.
Without the -x package evince appears unable to render PostScript
documents.  When opening a PostScript document without the
ghostscript-x package installed, evince displays blank pages and the
"Loading..." text and prints the following messages:

With the ghostscript-x package, the document displays correctly and no
error messages are printed.
