That wasn't what I meant.  The port was accepting "A4" and "LETTER" as 
the only options, so I changed it to be more tolerant.  The package
name using "a4" and "letter" was already there too.

 * Oh.  I wasn't watching very well, it's more likely I did.  If so, either
 * way, it's a simple change.  The only thing about the port was that there

Ok.  Currently a2ps43, c2ps, lprps, mp and psutils use "a4/letter" and 
a2ps and enscript use "A4/Letter".  Maybe we can make them all use
all-lowercase names (just for the sake of consistency).

 * was care given to the possibility that a user might make one choice during
 * the build phase, and another during the package phase, thus mislabeling
 * the package.  There's a cookie dropped in the work dir to prevent this,

That can be solved by having one port per papersize.  No confusion for 
the user too.

The only problem is for other ports that depend on these.  But package 
dependencies are currently broken for those cases anyway, I don't see
a big loss.
