Actually this latter point is not quite correct (typically it is really
difficult to find errors in TE's scripts). When texconfig is called as

 texconfig paper letter


than 'letterSize' is used as default paper size for dvips (and 'us' for
xdvi). Only when one explicitly uses

 texconfig dvips paper letter

'letter' and not 'letterSize' is set as default. This is what I tested.
Similar for a4 vs. A4paper.
