Darren: If you needed to modify the patch to get it to backport, then I'd recommend updating it as a new attachment in the bug report and encourage the maintainers to put this patch into the next 2.26 release. I think it is a serious enough usability issue that 2.26 users would appreciate this fix, especially if you already did all the work to prepare the patch.
We should also file an enhancement request upstream so that the evince community can consider making the default letter size based on the user's locale setting, as Jim suggests later in the thread. That seems a reasonable enhancement request that someone in the community might have an interest in working on.
