I'm not quite sure how we can do this. My opinion right now is if this is going to be a problem, not to have a package at all and let the user set it up the way he/she/it wants. I did notice that a2ps was packaged by default to be A4, which I thought would irritate the US users. I can manually compile and add a package, but I can't remember how Jordan's package indexer things works, and it may be fun trying to get two versions of the same package shoe-horned into it :-( Jordan?
