Don't know.  Should we call paperconfig in our postinst?

I think if we try to configure most programs to use libpaper defaults,
it is better to do it consistently.  This means dvipdfm should use this
method, too, and we can drop the patch.  At least if the resulting
functionality is identical; I cannot judge this.
