Package: texlive-extra-utils
Version: 2024.20250309-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Until the most recent upgrade to texlive-extra-utils, doing:
   pdfbook2 x.pdf
produced a file x-book.pdf that could be printed with a standard
duplex printer (flipping on long edge).

Now, pdfbook2 has stopped putting every second sheet upside-down, so
I need to do
  pdfbook2 -s x.pdf
to get the same effect.

The meaning of `-s` seems to have been reversed in the most recent release:
according to the man page it means, format for printing flipping on short edge.

I'd expect a breaking change like this to be in the Debian changelog or README. 

FWIW it looks like this issue upstream:
