Why does groff require psutils?

Hi,

I've been approached by a maintainer of the `psutils` package that the
groff is the only package that still requires it.
He wants to get rid of the package as many of the dependencies have shifted
from it, but the groff is still remaining

I wanted to ask what is the exact reason groff needs to require `psutils`.
I've found only a small mention in the README, however not much more:

> Ghostscript is required for creation of PDF and (X)HTML output.
> Production of (X)HTML furthermore demands tools from the 'netpbm' and
> 'psutils' packages.
>
> Thank you for your answers.
