possibily accept these sorts of masterpage,
but scribus should not restrict to these.

Even on a facing page document,
a document might have various sets of Left / Right matches.
When i have 10 possible left masterpages for this document,
and also 10 possible right masterpages
i dont want to create 100 couples of left+right masterpages.
