Announcement text:
This package puts the labels LastPage (\AtEndDocument) and VeryLastPage (\AfterLastShipout) into the .aux file, allowing the user to refer to the (very) last page of a document. This might be particularly useful in places like headers or footers. When more than one page numbering scheme is used, these references do not give the total number of pages. For this case the label LastPages is introduced. Additionally, at the last page of each page numbering scheme a label pagesLTS.<numbering scheme> is placed, where <numbering scheme> is e. g. arabic, roman, Roman, alph, or Alph. For fnsymbol please use \lastpageref{pagesLTS.fnsymbol} instead of \pageref{pagesLTS.fnsymbol}. When the same numbering scheme is used twice, the page numbers are either reset to one or continued automatically, depending on the option given when the package is called. The command \theCurrentPage prints the current total/absolute page number - in contrast to \thepage, which gives only the page name in the current page numbering scheme. \theCurrentPageLocal gives the current number of pages in the current page numbering scheme. \thepage and \theCurrentPageLocal are different e. g. when \addtocounter{pageg}{...} or \setcounter{page}{...} were used. At the first page of the document a label pagesLTS.0 is created. This label can be referred to, too. Further labels are provided for special cases. The alphalph package is supported, i. e. page numbers alph or Alph > 26 and fnyambol > 9 can be used (with according options set). Even zero and negative page numbers can be used with arabic, alph, Alph, roman, Roman, and fnsymbol page numbering (with alphalph package and according options).

pageslts – Variants of last page labels
The package was designed as an extension of the lastpage package — as well as that package’s LastPage label (created \AtEndDocument) it adds a VeryLastPage (created \AfterLastShipout).
When more than one page numbering scheme is in operation (as in a book class document with frontmatter), the labels above do not give the total number of pages, so the package also provides labels pagesLTS.<numbering scheme>, where the numbering scheme is arabic, roman, etc.
The package relies on the undolabl package.
