ACK! My apologies; I confused the man pages for the command and
the file. papersize(5) is about the file /etc/papersize;
paperconf(1) is the command that reads and writes it. You should
have it; it appears to have been written for Debian.
I still think the key to finding the source of this problem is in
your two Debian systems. In one, the file displays correctly; in
the other, it doesn't. Find out where they differ for displaying
PostScript; that's where your problem is most likely to be.
