So I will ask tex-k mailing list whether TL wants to include these
patches, I think it would be a good idea. I will Cc the bug report
on that matter.

TLPaper.pm. BUt as said, we have two options:
- we patch TLPaper and continue with ucf (not happy about it)
- we patch dvipdfmx and dvips to allow for inclusion of other config
files, and just include a minimal
config-debian.ps
dvipdfmx-debian.cfg
What do you prefer, Frank?
Best wishes
