 * I'll be a pain [read US-centric] and assume a2ps-letter contains the full

 * 
 *     PAPERSIZE?= letter      # what ever varient spelling
 *     PKGNAME=        a2ps-${PAPERSIZE}
 * 
 * a2ps-a2 would

 *     PAPERSIZE=a4

 * There shouldn't be any differences in the PLISTs.

I think I completely failed to get my point across.  That is exactly
what I was thinking.

 * No need to make it broken.  All (most?) of the printing ports already
 * have a default, but it is easily overridable.

This pertains to the second part of my message, about being able to
type "make PAPERSIZE=a4" from ports/print and let it DTRT.  Sort of a
"safety belt" for people used to the current framework.
