So, 'a2ps-lpr-wrapper' is assuming that 'getopt' is the one from the
"util-linux" package.  According to its manpage, that implementation
of 'getopt' should accept syntax compatible with NetBSD's 'getopt',
so perhaps a patch that changes that line to:

  TEMP=$(getopt d: -- "$@")

will be sufficient for all platforms?
