[tex-k] (fwd) Bug#337805: tetex-bin: dvips should include document's title in Postscript instead of DVI filename

[Tom Rokicki]

It is not implemented yet.  It may be possible to implement
through a combination of a change in the LaTeX macros and
an extension to dvips.  Can you ask the original
submitter of the bug to try to motivate why this is useful?
Is the %%Title DSC comment used somewhere interesting
that we should be aware of?
