Dear TeX-k people,

http://bugs.debian.org/269638

We've got that bug report a few years ago. We've sent it to
tex-k at mail.., but got no response.  I've re-tested again with the TL
2009 and

hille at sid:~ $ dvips --version
This is dvips(k) 5.98 Copyright 2009 Radical Eye Software
kpathsea version 5.0.0

and still this is wrong. When reading the man page the options are
described differently (not correct either).  Yes, that beast states
in huge letters, that it is obsolete, but maybe we can fix the
numbers there too.
Please review the others debug options in the info page too, as I
can't evaluate if these statements are correct.

Kind Regards,
  Hilmar
