Ahm.

I would like to do this, but then it doesn't do the right thing with
older versions of debiandoc2ps where -1 isn't the default.  I think
debiandoc2sgml should continue to support the -1 option for at least
one release cycle after it's deprecated.

Since it's still in the manual, it's not clear that the removal of the
option is (yet) intentional.

I will reassign this bug to debiandoc-sgml.  I'd be grateful if the
debiandoc-sgml author would let me know how long 1-up output has been
the default; if it's sufficiently long then I will remove the option
from my build script.

There probably ought to be a separate bug in debiandoc-sgml regarding
the documentation inconsistency.  Have you filed one ?

Thanks,
Ian.
