On the other hand, this is probably the right list to point out that the
description for Debian's kruler package says it supports inches, centimeters
and pixels:
Package: kruler
Description: a screen ruler and color measurement tool for KDE
Kruler is a screen ruler (supporting inches, centimeters, and pixels) and
color measurement tool for KDE.
.
This package is part of KDE, as a component of the KDE graphics module.
See the 'kde' and 'kdegraphics' packages for more information.
