\paper {
    paper-width = 15\cm
    paper-height = 3\cm
}

Also does the job AFAIK and seems more intuitive for the common user I

Any idea whether using paper-width/paper-heigt settings instead of 
defining a new paper size has (unwanted) implications on other parts of 
the lay-out that can be avoided by using the paper-alist?
