Subject: psmerge only writes the prolog back

Package: psutils
Version: 1.16-3

The psmerge utility only writes the prolog of files it reads. It is even
not able to merge a single file (which should be equivalent to a cat).
Looking at the source, it looks like some parts of the PS are gobbled
without being printed.

Yves (who needs psmerge or an equivalent soon :-().

The man page indicates that psmerge is not a general merge utility. It is
only intended to work in the specific case that all the files are created
with the same fonts and resources by the same application. I can only
assume that if your case differs from this scenerio you should not expect
useful results.

I'm in this scenario, don't worry. In addition, a single document is in
the scenario too ;-)
