Package: mpage
Version: 2.5.4-2
Severity: normal

The -t behaviour is different to what it used to be, and differs to
the one specified in the manual page. I have checked the upstream
version, and it works correctly. Also, the debian source diff file
seems to modify the code which parses the -t option.

The following terminal session illustrates the current bogus behaviour.

shadowfax:/tmp$ mpage  paris-iann98.ps | grep Duplex
shadowfax:/tmp$ mpage -t paris-iann98.ps | grep Duplex
shadowfax:/tmp$ mpage -t -t paris-iann98.ps | grep Duplex
%%BeginFeature: *Duplex DuplexNoTumble
<< /Duplex true /Tumble false >> setpagedevice
shadowfax:/tmp$ mpage -t -t -t paris-iann98.ps | grep Duplex

This contradicts the manual page:

> If there is no -t, then the duplex is NOP. If you put some -t on the
> command line, the state toggles as "yes,no,yes,no..."

Regards,

   Enrique.
