#66653: request: please switch to friendly fork of 'libpaper'

IMHO, a big problem of the Debian 'libpaper' library is that it is GPL-2
only. This currently makes more than 20 ports non-distributable; some of
them are quite important like 'gimp', 'ghostscript', or 'ImageMagick'.
The complete list is below.
However, there exists a 'friendly fork' at
https://github.com/rrthomas/libpaper that comes with both a GPL-2 and
GPL-3 license. I thus suggest to switch to this port.

Here are the relevant results from `not-distributable.txt` as produced by
Joshua Root's `all_distributable.tcl` script
(https://gist.github.com/jmroot/f84c329919356bfb1ed2d8425f3cfebb),
executed on my macOS 10.7.5 machine.
