[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#531409: cups-pdf: no longer deduces filename for output file from PS title

Package: cups-pdf
Version: 2.5.0-2
Severity: normal

Not too long ago (~4-5 months), cups-pdf would use the postscript
title for the output filename. Now it just uses the same name as
passed on the command line, or _stdin_.pdf.

  piper:~|master|% echo test | a2ps --title='my test' -2qo- | grep '^%%Title'
  %%Title: my test
  piper:~|master|% echo test | a2ps --title='my test' -2qo- | lp -d pdf
  request id is pdf-1158 (1 file(s))
  piper:~|master|% ls -l ~/PDF/*.pdf
  -rw------- 1 madduck madduck 5494 2009-06-01 12:14 /home/madduck/PDF/_stdin_.pdf

I am pretty sure this worked with 2.4.8, so I assume it's
a regression in 2.5.0, possibly related to Ubuntu#237224, though
I did not verify that.
