Thanks, I download the official tarball and moved over just the pdftops
filter to my system and thinks work quite well now.

I'm curious, what are the differences are between the two filters?  Is
something else going to subtlety break now?  Why the confusing state
(and annoying non-default behavior from Gentoo -- which I plan on
reporting as a bug) with the two filters?  A difference of opinion
between developers was eluded to in the mailing list, but I'm wondering
if I could advocate for a bit more documentation  as to why I (or
Gentoo) might decide to chose the "alternate" pdftops or "alternate"
pstops filters.

Thanks for your and Helge's prompt help.
