An empty A4 page is not the same as an empty A-50 Page, just like an empty
100x100-pixel-image is not the same as an empty 1000x1000-pixel-image.
Sure, it doesn't make much difference if you do it manually, but if it's used in
an automated environment (Which it is often, just look how many people use
JODConverter), it is an issue.

The problem we had is that we converted all sorts of documents to PDF, split the
PDFs in single PNG images of the pages and display those in a Java application.
Now, with the wrong MediaBox-Setting, the pages taken out of the PDF have an
awful huge resolution, huge enough to crush Java with an OutOfMemoryError.
We're currently manually opening the PDF, searching for the wrong MediaBox (just
to be clear, this is an error. An A4 page should have an A4 MediaBox no matter
if it's empty or not) and then, if found, just use a pre-prepared empty PNG
instead of one taken out of the PDF.

Also, this would be such a fast fix for someone familiar with the sources
(because the MediaBox-settings are correct for non-empty pages) that it should
even be fixed if it wouldn't generate such unpleasant issues.
