I'm not sure whether you're agreeing with me or Tassilo. 

My suggested bindings were:
C-n/C-p = scroll image 
C-v/M-v = scroll to next/previous PDF page

Tassilo's bindings are:
C-n/M-p = scroll to next/previous PDF page 
C-v/M-v = scroll image 

I can see that Tassilo might want to keep his bindings as he also has
the characters "n" and "p" bound to the "next/previous PDF page"
functions; however, I think that (if he keeps the existing bindings)
the "M-p" binding should be changed to "C-p".
