pstops doesn't handle different output and input sizes

[Nicolas Fesselet]

Binary package hint: psutils

release : Ubuntu 9.04
psutils version : 1.17-26

I'm trying to use pstops to print 4 copies of a A6 document on an A4 sheet. The command I'm using is :
  pstops -pa4 -b "1:0@1+0@1(0.5w,0)+0@1(0,0.5h)+0@1(0.5w,0.5h)" a6.ps combi.ps
When I look at the resulting output with evince it is in a6 format despite the -pa4 argument. I don't know much about postscript but I made a few tests and I think that this is related to the %%BoundingBox line in the input file : it is copied "as is" in the output and thus is trimming the output page in the same way as the input page : when I delete the %%BoundingBox line in the output I approximatively get what I want (top and right margins are removed. I guess there's an auto bounding box feature).

Could this bug be related to Bug #396025 ?

Same applies to psresize. I tried to resize my A1 document to A4, using psresize -PA1 -pA4 input.ps output.ps, but the resulting document was still in A1.
