-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 Converting areas from vector to raster (v.to.rast) with the -d flag (dense
 lines) results in an empty raster map.

 This is probably/likely because boundaries are not lines in a topolgical
 sense.

 It may be technically chalenging to desify also boundaries. Here one might
 probably have to distinguish shared boundaries (which can not be
 densified) and boundaries "owned" by a single area (which could be
 desified).[[BR]]

 In any case, it would be helpful to catch this behavior at least using a
 warning/error message and by adding information to the manual.
