I have reported upstream to Debian:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=682708
This is because this bug also impacts other distros like Trisquel.
Tested with a live CD: both files and fixmacps are gone.
New gen script removes both Postscript files and fixmacps (rev. 450).
committed, but still pending
In the psutils package the License from the original author states:
"The included files, md68_0.ps and md71_0.ps (and their uuencoded forms) are (to the best of my knowledge) copyright Apple Computer, Inc."
Indeed in /usr/lib/psutils in the gnewsense package (deltah) there are those 2 postscript files, without any copyright notice or hint where they come from. Even the author of psutils doesn't seem to be sure.
Unless proven otherwise, I think we must consider those two files as non-free.
Technical, those files are used by fixmacps(1), which "fixes" PostScript generated from a Macintosh PC that it works correctly with psutils package (according to manpage).
The fix would be, to remove fixmacps and the postcript files md68_0.ps and md71_0.ps from the package.
