(Get the code!)
There is already a bug report in Debian for this (see bug watch), I added the following comment:
Having two places (LC_PAPER and /etc/papersize) to set the default paper size is confusing.
This is proven by several bug reports in Ubuntu over years, users expect the paper size to change according to LC_PAPER and usually are not aware of /etc/papersize.
Since applications developers can use both LC_PAPER and /etc/papersize to determine the paper size it would be nice if we could let libpaper take its default from the locale, so that if /etc/papersize does not exist or contains "auto" or "locale" that then the paper size is taken from LC_PAPER.
In this way we have one logical location to set the paper size (LC_PAPER) and all applications on the system make use of it.
