My multiple grievances on debian bug tracker were completely ignored
so we are left on own to detect IM being under ban and try workarounds
(current solution) or display warning which would suggest to spam
distro maintainers to do something about it and thus increase the pressure.
(I am currently aware of debian, and suse paranoia, Jose what is the fedora
take on IM policy now?).

- We have currently covered eps->png via non-IM eps->pdf->png workaround (bd0510b08)
- We currently don't have PNG -> EPS (#12646, didn't have time to look yet)

And yeah, I still didn't have time to look on the -dALLOWPSTRANSPARENCY for ghostscript
needed since TL-2021.

I was wondering myself if we should merge those one day and I support this move.
