I've looked in the gri code, and started making some notes on how to
make the change. (It should be done in the base gri, I think, not
just in the debian version, since if it's good for debian then it's
good for all.)
My notes are at https://sourceforge.net/my/diary.php?diary_id=21493
which should be public.
NOTE: if I make the change, I would like it to be in response to a
bug listed on the gri.sf.net site, since Gri is in a stable stream.
So, Peter, could you report it there, or ask the debian report to do so?
THANKS.
PS. it should be quick

Thanks for the bug report.
This "feature" has saved me from massive amounts of work in the
past at
a few occasion when I found an archived complicated PostScript figure
made from Gri but I couldn't find the .gri script file. I'd then use
`gri -creator' to recreate it.
But I could understand how this could be undesirable.
Dan, if you have time, I suggest a few things. First, a command line
option to enable it or disable it. As to what the default could be, I
suppose it would be nice to have it disabled by default yet have the
possibility of turning it on by default by users (via ~/grirc or
environment variables perhaps?)
