Of course, on Debian, there's no need to know about /etc/papersize --
everything is done through Debconf. If Debconf is set to use an
interactive UI, a simple

dpkg-reconfigure libpaperg

will provide a list of paper sizes for users to choose. But users still
need to know the package name for the libpaper package. Perhaps a
configlet would help...

Sorry for going way off topic here. ;)
