This would be a bad idea from my point of view, because in order to generate a pdf
that's on a non-standard sheet of paper, I must use the postscript, so not having that
file would make it impossible for me to generate a file that prints on, say,
9"x12" paper.

But if we aren't going to consider it a bug when the postscript file
doesn't print, shouldn't we treat it as a temporary file and delete it
for the user instead of leaving it there? I used to usually print the
postscript files, and I still forget and try to do it sometimes, and
it doesn't work with my current printer.
