In the old v1 OSGeo4W repository, the gs package is named "Ghostscript".
I don't know if GRASS actually requires the gs package and what it is required for. Maybe to export something in ps/pdf.
The Debian grass-gui (7.8.6-1) package has the ghostscript package listed as "recommends".
And in the Compile and Install instructions for Ubuntu ghostscript is listed among the compilation dependencies.

The nonexistent gs package is no longer listed among the required packages for the grass package.

Do you know what gs is used for in GRASS?
