I have no idea, how can I check ? I am using doxygen as front end
which generated a latex file for me.

Technically I started to have the issue since 2009, but again this may
be related to doxygen use of latex. Since I always have sudo power
this has never been an issue so far.
This will be the day the gdcm (debian package) starts to generates the
pdf documentation on buildd machine.
