both of my output files contain two pages. They are the result of merging the
files example.pdf and example2.pdf (which both contain one page) to a pdf which
consequently has two pages.

I am not a pdf expert, so the word 'link' may be wrong for my problem, but in
lack of a better word, I will just use it.
Here is my problem: Both of my input files (example.pdf, example2.pdf) contain
a link to the section in that file (the link actually is the '1' after 'Ref:').
If you click it, your viewer should scroll to that section.

My expectation was that, if the two files become merged by ghostscript, the
link in page 1 points to the section on page 1, and the link in page 2 points
to the section on page 2 (this is what pdftk does).
But: both links point to page 1.

If this is the desired behaviour (even though I do not understand why this is
desired, since it means gs is unable to 'correctly' merge files which contain
links that have been created by hyperref), then this is ok.
I preferred ghostscript to pdftk since its output is much smaller.
