I personally see no case where upsampling by the application is 
appropriate. If an image is low-res, let the RIP render it as best it 
can with the available information, or upsample it in a graphics app. 
It's not worth the confusion (and resource use!) of having Scribus do it 
IMO. I actually thought this was fixed in 1.3.x already.
