The papersize thingie is annoyingly complex, every now and then the next
small issue pops up. For a status, look at trunk/testplan_libpaper.txt.
I _think_ that without doing any paper changes (like buildds do),
everything would run smoothly, but for strange debug messages.
Err, and one debugging hunk to the patch for texconfig, which asks for
input, but that can easily be removed. After that, I'd try once to
upgrade from sid to the new package.
On the other hand, there are also changes to the stable packages that
have been done during the freeze, and I fear a couple of them are
missing in trunk (Hilmar?)

I might have some time this weekend - but I don't expect to declare the
papersize patches "ready", and don't hold your breath.
