Comment(by geofft):
This is an upstream bug, I think. Related links in ''increasing'' order of
relevance:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/texlive-base/+bug/155222
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=49149
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=402994
That said, someone in upstream is not admitting this is a problem, so we
should just fix it. (Or flame them more. Or convince Ubuntu to ignore
Debian.)
There's also some issue with the geometry or hyperref packages. Maybe we
do want a debathena-paper-config package. :-P Or more seriously,
debathena-locale-config, and then we can fix Keith's en_US-without-UTF-8
issue and the Firefox en_GB issue in the same package.
Anyway, the Right Answer here is to say
`\documentclass[letterpaper]{article}`, because you don't want your
document to be reflowed when you move to Britain, do you?
