Bug#431338: texlive-base-bin: config.ps needs to be updated to support powerdot

["Hongzheng Wang" <wanghz@gmail.com>]

Hi Norbert,

I have tried to use the newer one.  Then the powerdot examples, i.e.,
/usr/share/doc/texlive-latex-recommended/latex/powerdot/powerdot-example*
can be processed correctly.  Otherwise, by tex -> dvi -> ps -> pdf,
the final pdf file will have a wrong paper size.  But, frankly
speaking, I'm not sure if the newer config.ps will cause other
problems.  So, comments are welcome :-)

Thanks.
