When -W or -H is passed to psnup, the relevant dimension is also used
for the output paper size, regardless of any explicit or implicit
paper size passed to the program.
I attach a simple patch which only sets the output paper size from the
input paper size if no output size (explicit or implicit) is given.
The maintainers may wish to change this so that implicit output paper
sizes (e.g. via libpaper) are also overridden, although I would
counsel against this, as the man page gives no hint that setting the
input size will also set the output size. (In a perfect world, I'd
remove this setting of the output size from the input size altogether,
but I've avoided that to retain some degree of backwards
compatibility, even though in practice on a Debian system there will
always be an /etc/papersize, so the output size will always default to
that.)
