I just discussed this case with the foomatic upstream developer: > For CUPS users foomatic-db and foomatic-db-engine need to be installed in > order to get all Foomatic PPDs auto-generated on the fly. So a transitional > package should pull foomatic-db and foomatic-db-engine. physical PPDs are not > needed when working with CUPS 1.2.x or newer. So if you use cups it should work since Lenny. I just committed the re-add of foomatic-filters-ppds as dummy package: http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/foomatic-db- engine.git;a=commitdiff;h=bbdfca7b174c53b8c6ea42e1eae2b37b4df14b4a Would that be okay for you ?
