Title:
  psnup mis-places landscape pages, truncating content.  -l option does
  nothing.

Status in “psutils” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  psnup mis-positions pages which were created in landscape format,
  causing content to be truncated.    The pages get put side-by-side,
  hanging over the right and left edges of the output sheet (so the
  parts outside the edge are lost)   I was expecting the pages to be put
  one above the other (my words refer to viewing the output sheet in an
  upright portrait position).

  The -l option has no effect at all!   The output is exactly the same
  with or without the -l option.

  Here's what the result looks like (A and B are input page data) [view
  this with fixed-width font!]

    ----------------
  AA|AAAAAA  BBBBBB|BB
  AA|AAAAAA  BBBBBB|BB
  AA|AAAAAA  BBBBBB|BB
    |              |
    |              |
    |              |
    |              |
    ----------------

  Here is what I was expecting:

    ----------------
    |   AAAAAAAA   |
    |   AAAAAAAA   |
    |   AAAAAAAA   |
    |              |
    |   BBBBBBBB   |
    |   BBBBBBBB   |
    |   BBBBBBBB   |
    ----------------

  I will attach test data.  The landscape pages were created with libre
  office writer (.odt file will be included).
