Package: debian-policy Version: N/A; reported 2001-11-16 Severity: normal I propose that we add a section under the "documentation" chapter, to request a minimum of coherence and sanity of PostScript files.
My problem is that some maintainers (probably for paper-saving reasons, which in itself is a valuable idea) ship 2-up versions of postscript files, whereas others ship 1-up versions. Problem with 2-up is that it is meant for printing, and not ideal for online browsing. I suggest that we require not to feed postscript documents through a n-up-izer tool. In the same direction of allowing easy browsing of ps docs, I suggest that we require ps docs to contain orientation and format information. Note: incidentally, it is possible that some n-up-izer tools (namely psutils) strip this information.
