The printer-driver-all metapackage was introduced as an easy way to get the
widest possible support for all potential printing drivers. As britney
doesn't look (or enforce) recommends, the source package also ships printer-
driver-all-enforce that has the same recommends as depends, to abuse britney
in keeping all drivers in testing. The latter package was not really meant to
be installed or used.
Anyway, when that mechanism was introduced, printer-driver-all was a
dependency of task-printing, but for buster (or bullseye), I had decided to
drop that task, and let cups rely on driverless printing by default. I'd say
printer-driver-all is still a useful "if you have printing problems, install
that with its recommends", but definitely not as central to the printing stack
as it used to be.
As for indexbraille, as Samuel wrote, it was a mimetype mismatch, so that's
solved!
