The problem appears to be an incompatibility between Scribus and 
Ghostscript 9.25 since I've found mention of a similar problem 
(importing .eps files) on a Scribus list.

Does anyone know if the Debian maintainers are going to revert to an 
earlier version of Ghostscript or bring the fix down from an 
experimental version of Scribus to fix this? Whatever the solution, the 
current situation is not good enough to allow Buster to become Stable.
