Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Until the most recent upgrade to texlive-extra-utils, doing:
   pdfbook2 x.pdf
produced a file x-book.pdf that could be printed with a standard
duplex printer (flipping on long edge).

Now, pdfbook2 has stopped putting every second sheet upside-down, so
I need to do
  pdfbook2 -s x.pdf
to get the same effect.

The meaning of `-s` seems to have been reversed in the most recent release:
according to the man page it means, format for printing flipping on short edge.

I'd expect a breaking change like this to be in the Debian changelog or README.

FWIW it looks like this issue upstream: https://github.com/jenom/pdfbook2/issues/26

pdfbook2 did not change for the last 6 years (at least by looking at the
commit messages on github). Is the issue still present?
