Your suggestion would be reasonable, so I didn't claim my
request anymore but please note that there are requests from
Debian users like following;

in this sense, I guess this might be Debian specific.
Also I've experience to be asked from my colleagues (novice
TeX user though) if there was any simple means to tell DVI its
papersize and as I was not so familiar with geometry package
so I suspected \AtBeginDvi macro might be a candidate.
Anyway it will be good if we can provide any hints to a user
who wonders why TeX doesn't obey /etc/papersize.
