Page size discrepancy between template and published UU theses? #2

I have checked, this class LuaUUThesis.cls conforms exactly to the latest version of UU's official but-not-really-supported XeTeX template. Which means it has not change since I created my Lua-based template off of it.

Looking at some recent UU theses from Teknat, I see page size is consistently 171 mm x 248 mm (aspect ratio 0.689516).

This deviates from the page size and ratio set in the TeX template, 165 mm x 242 mm (aspect ratio 0.681818).

A while ago I got an opportunity to ask the above question to a representative of Uppsala University's office of Thesis Production (I can't remember if this was via email or at one of their Zoom meetings, cannot find any email thread in any case), and they explained that this mismatch was due to them intentionally adding some extra "padding" to the physical page size before printing.

So the template is correct, and the physical size mismatch between it and the final published theses is intentional.

Everything is in order, issue can be closed.
