Poll: Does R_PAPERSIZE in /etc/R/Renviron matter?
I use it. Thanks, Robert.

A heuristic runs via the r-base-core package postinst. It is intended to use the result from Debian's paperconf(1) toool, and to update the R environment variable R_PAPERSIZE accordingly. This apparently broke some time ago when R changed to a dual variable setup, and my regexp didn't notice. Does anybody use this, or is it ok if I simply disable this in Debian? In that case we simply do what everybody else does, so you all get to live by the 'letter' setting that comes from my compile-time choice. It is easy enough to override either in /etc/R/Renviron or in ~/.Renviron. Opinions either way? Let me know. For now, I intend to simply comment this out in the next release (presumably a rc for 2.4.1). Thanks, Dirk
