Public bug reported:

Saw this while installing TeX on Ubuntu Saucy:

    Setting up texlive-base (2013.20130722-1) ...
    mktexlsr: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXLIVEDIST... 
    mktexlsr: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXMFMAIN...

    /usr/bin/tl-paper: setting paper size for pdftex to a4.
    Running mktexlsr. This may take some time... done.
    Building format(s) --all.
        This may take some time... done.
    Setting up ttf-marvosym (0.1+dfsg-2) ...

There's no reason for tl-paper to have selected A4 paper size, because

    # cat /etc/papersize 
    letter
    # debconf-show libpaper1
    * libpaper/defaultpaper: letter

I have to manually configure tl-paper to use letter size, when it should
have defaulted to that already (on my system).
