Bug#227203: tetex-bin could hint at dvips secure mode
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 2.0.2-5.1
Back ticks in commands such as \DeclareGraphicsRule are disabled
by default in Debian, in contrast to several other distributions,
confusing (quite?) some people, since they expect such commands
to just work.
Thus it'd would probably be a good idea to remind people in
/usr/share/doc/tetex-bin/README.Debian.gz that devips
"secure mode" is enabled and the fact that you should
configure it in /etc/texmf/dvips/config.ps (the "z" parameter).
Also config.ps doesn't explicitly mention the words "secure mode" either...
Thanks,
Andreas Mohr
