That's because there is not supposed to be a gs.exe.  The ghostscript
packages use the alternatives facility, which means /usr/bin/gs is a
symlink to /etc/alternatives/gs which is a symlink to either
/usr/bin/gs-x11.exe or /usr/bin/gs-native.exe depending on how you've
configured your system.  Either way, it should work to execute 'gs',
though.
