As much as sticking close to upstream makes sense in principle (it is also a
Fedora policy), it doesn't make sense to make a religion out of it, the highest
priority should be on making things work for the user! Otherwise, what do we
even have a distribution for? A distribution which just redistributes
unmodified upstream code is useless.


With that said, the paper size should already be read off CUPS settings by the
existing Qt code. See QTBUG-6471, which got resolved in Qt 4.7.
