0003734: dvipdf fails with message "-q: not found"
because dvipdf doesn't define GS_EXECUTABLE it tries to execute "-q" which is not found...

looking at the Debian supplied file it has this salient code in the first lines:

# This definition is changed on install to match the
# executable name set in the makefile
GS_EXECUTABLE=gs

Strangely, the script's code is of the same revision as the OpenCSW one. The same is true for ghostscript itself.

I didn't check the other DVI converters provided by the package.

Confirmed. The script that adds /opt/csw/bin/gsc failed to match the original file.

ghostscript-8.64,REV=2009.06.28 in testing.
