Bug#249466: dvips: Landscape papers handled in an idotic way

[karl@freefriends.org (Karl Berry)]

    I propose you'll create two minimal LaTeX-docs: one doc with papersize
    specials (mentioned in info-formatted docs of dvips) and without them:

It sounds like a good approach, but what the dvips maintainers (I'm not
one) really need to work with are (ideally) the small example documents
(the DVI as well as the source), and a report of what fails, the dvips
command line, and (very important) the expected behavior.

Although I think all the information has been reported in the various
mails to this point, to be honest I simply cannot quickly dig it out.
And the dvips maintainers definitely won't have any time or energy to do so.  

I understand if you don't want to bother.  In that case, I'll eventually
go through the mail on the subject and try to figure it out ...
