[Debian-hebrew-package] Bug#369182: paps: --landscape is buggy

Package: paps
Version: 0.6.6-1
Severity: normal

The --landscape option is unusable, because paps rotates the paper,
but not the text. The consequence is that one has a blank part on
the left of the page and the text is truncated on its right. For
instance, try

  paps --landscape --columns=2 --font_scale=8

on a 80-column text.

I think that the fix is to invert the condition here in landscape
mode (this works here):

         % Exchange pagewidth and pageheight so that pagewidth is bigger
         pagewidth pageheight gt {  
             pagewidth
             /pagewidth pageheight def
             /pageheight exch def
             /orientation 3 def
         } if

and I think the comment is wrong.
