Bugzilla Bug 126403

app-text/a2ps ships psset (shell script); psset -d (to set duplex) creates
corrupt postscript.

which notes that it only happens with some versions of sed installed; (I'd
comment there but don't want Yet Another Bugzilla Logon).

It's caused by an attempt (using sed) to escape leading whitespace in a
postscript fragment for insertion by a sed filter; it actually inserts a
backslash at the start of every line.  It's this which causes the final sed
filter invocation to see \countdictstack, \c for control, control-O, resulting
in ^Ountdictstack.

Fix is to only escape a leading space with a backslash, instead of inserting a
backslash at the start of every line.
