Subject: Bug#4139: libpaper /etc/papersize is auto-handled conffile

From: Ian Jackson <[email-masked]>

Package: libpaper
Version: 1.0-1

The package contains /etc/papersize as a dpkg-handled conffile, but
this file is also modified by many packages' maintainer scripts
(including those of libpaper).

This is forbidden.  See the dpkg programmers' manual.

As I said before, this will be changed by libpaper 1.0-2. Which will maybe
have a papersize command instead of paper.
