fixed 1062983 14.6
thanks

https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/developers-reference.en.pdf
is currently A4 presumably because `make build/en/pdf/developers-reference.pdf`
in a system with en_US.UTF-8 locale produces A4 (and so likely does regardless
of the locale setting).

no idea when exactly the change happened, but marking as fixed anyway as there's
little value in keeping the bug open. if somebody really cares about letter
size, look into https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/3617

thanks,
serafi
