Package: gs
Version: 8.62.dfsg.1-3.2lenny5
Severity: normal
Hello,
gs ignores -dDuplex option when using
pswrite/psmono/pdfwrite output drivers, i.e. it
doesn't insert /Duplex true pagedevice entry:

So when I need /Duplex, I'm forced to generate
.pdf instead of .ps and then convert .pdf back
to .ps via pstopdf (libpoppler):

I believe that is by design, as the docs [1] only cover -dDuplex for IJS and
Windows output devices.
