You have a problem with fonts, which can be based on missing MAP  
files, not with gs. (sudo) updmap-sys is your friend ...

The first warning seems to imply that no MAP file exists (it's name  
is obviously revealed in the third warning). The second warning  
references a line from the MAP file used. The third warning names the  
problem exactly:

	line #6 of (/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/ 
updmap/)pdftex.map

I remember eMails from two years ago in which an erroneous set (I  
think) of lines in the pdftex.map files was described. Obviously  
Debian Linux is so "stable" that even well-known bugs don't get  
removed ... You need to do it manually then! (A hint, since I don't  
know what's written on that line: compare the syntax with that of  
lines more towards the end, for example those that reference Computer  
Modern fonts, which should be OK! The first five lines probably are  
comments.)
