[cups.bugs] [LOW] STR #2027: [PATCH] dvipdf doesnot pass -R flag to dvips

Yes, I agree with you, probably the correct way is to create symlinks and
modify the latex documents. (in my case it's just a bit more complex
because there are hundreds of documents written by different people which
suddently don't compile anymore ;-) )

Still, I do beleive that if dvips has a "-R0" option, dvipdf should also
be able to support the same option. From a user point of view, dvipdf is
exactly like dvips but generates PDF files instead of PS files. It's very
strange that some DVI files can be compiled with dvips (using -R0) while
cannot be compiled with dvipdf at all. If the user knows that he can trust
the DVI, then there is no need of forcing the security options.
