Package: djvulibre
Version: 3.5.20-9
Severity: minor

hi,

I disagree with motivation in #478607: if you want bigger docs you're free
to do so, but it's pointless to raise it by default, unless your main use
is conversion of (scanned) originals, so _you_ drive the original's DPI, 
need such higher res and such .djvu are meant mainly for later printing.

But if you start from .ps/.pdf, that are mostly 300dpi, default to 600dpi
is a waste of space/bw, and some kind of 300dpi .djvu already turn out quite
bigger than original .pdf (eg. A4 slides/presentations in .pdf, for which
200 dpi is enough).  On 80..120 dpi display devices 300dpi already allows 
for ~3x magnification at 1:1 pixel, so you must have special good reason to
want more pixels, and that's not a good default.

I'm fine with a debconf option to set default DPI, provided that the non-
interactive install default remains 300dpi, so that I get no surprises from
upgrades.


thanx
