Hi Didier, Thank you for this patch as well. I will work on it by next weekend, but I already took a quick look at it and it seems fine. > P.S. Thare are various improvements that could be done in the packaging, such > as "not shipping the PPD files, but only the .drv files if splix is only > to be used with cups", "if shipping the PPD files, compress them with > dh_pyppd", etc. Since I took over this package I mainly worked on the printer communication side of the driver, so I could use some documentation here. Can you point me to some reference/tutorial/wiki page about the best practices in packaging printer drivers?
