Yes. "What you see is what you get" ;)

What else did you expect? Do you want to type latex code into dia and
have it transported unchanged via pstricks to TeX for later
interpretation? I guess this is not intended by upstream. But feel free
to contact them for clarification.

If I got the issue right, we can't do much about this in Debian (and I
could just close this bug). Otherwise, please explain more thorougly.

Thanks,

Roland
