Package: libpaper
Version: 1.1.14-3
Tags: patch
The libpaper package should provide a hook for other packages to
receive notification when the paper size has been set or changed.
Not all packages can use libpaper as part of their normal run-time
to determine the current paper size. Those that have their own
configuration (e.g., tetex) need to know when the system paper size
has changed, so they can update their own idea of the paper size.
The hook added in the attached patch defines a new directory,
/etc/paper.d, where other packages can place scripts that will be
run when the system paper size is set or changed.
