Bug#528634: "n-up" printing bites with even/odd selection

Package: evince
Version: 2.24.2-2+b1
Severity: normal
This probably applies to other GTK/GNOME apps, but I couldn't figure
out a better place to file the bug report, thus evince where I met
it. Please reassign as appropriate.
I just wanted to print a large document such that I'd have two
logical pages on one physical page, and do manual duplex, since my
printer cannot do duplex itself.
Thus, I told evince to print "2 pages per side" and only the "odd
sheets". The result was quite different to what I expected:
1/3, 5/7, 9/11, …
when I expected
1/2, 5/6, 9/10, …
Arguably, the print dialog should be able to do both, so it would
help to make that configurable. And it would help if there was some
sort of graphical representation of what will happen, so that the
user knows what's going on.
