Hi again,
by chance the bug of the day picked again two bugs of psutils:
640519: psutils, Ian Jackson <ijack...@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
(important) psutils: psresize does not enlarge papersize e.g. from a5 to a4
corectly but crop borders instead
2011-09-05 PostScript document handling utilities
VCS: None, Popcon: 1019, StdVer: 3.9.5, testsuite: None, last upload:
2017-01-21, Homepage, uscan error
852123: psutils, Ian Jackson <ijack...@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
(minor) pstops(1): some formatting improvements
2017-01-21 PostScript document handling utilities
VCS: None, Popcon: 1019, StdVer: 3.9.5, testsuite: None, last upload:

Given that psutils has a quite high Popcon *Vote* value compared to
other packages showing up there it would be really helpful if you would
push your packaging git repository (which I assume you have) to some
Salsa repository which could smoothen the way to contribute.
Thanks a lot for considering
Andreas.
