Ok. This is of course the "right" behaviour by design of docbook-xsl.
There was already a similar wishlist report for this feature. I probably
would solve this wishlist item via a paramter, that tells, what the
default for paper.type and page.width.portrait should be. Probably:

- intern definition (current)
- /etc/papersize with LC_PAPER as default as alternative

Not sure, how difficult this will be or if it will be possible in the
way I think of it. It will need some sort of script to realize it. I
will have a closer look, after the current dpcbook-xsl packages passed
NEW. Then I also have a better overview, what issues are still
outstanding.

PS: A similar request was made in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=173093. Merged both
requests.

Regards, Daniel
