I'm not sure it is contradictory, but the discussion in bug 365506
gave a wrong solution. The bug reporter said that the PS file was
for A4 paper size, but was converted to Letter paper size (but this
is strange since ps2pdf seems to run fine here). What I suggest
would be consistent with what is required in this bug: keep the
original paper size. For instance, what if the user had an A3 or
US-Legal (i.e. larger than A4) PS file and wanted to convert it to
PDF? Using /etc/papersize here would clearly be a bad choice.

Perhaps.
