And Debian psutils uses /etc/papersize (actually libpaperg, a wrapper
around that one line file), since that's the Debian way. The
locale method doesn't make sense, as what size paper the printer has is
not usually a user setting. Also, the locale system has two
alternatives, letter or A4, ignoring the possiblity that someone might
have, say, legal size paper loaded.
