Hello Jeffrey, I am not the maintainer of cups but I do a bit of work with it every so often.

The output of dpkg -l | grep cups should help to clarify matters. It is the postinst of cups-daemon which arranges for cupsd.conf to be written to /etc/cups. I did a quick test on an unstable install; the postinst is the same as the one in testing so it's not such a bad idea. My install is used for testing cups so it is has all the printer related packages on it. 'aptitude purge cups-daemon' wanted to remove cups, hplip, cups-pdf, printer-driver-gutenprint, printer-driver-hpcups and printer-driver-postscript-hp. I let it go ahead. Then I installed all these removed packages with aptitude. A new cupsd.conf was created. Jeffrey, I'd recommend reviewing what you did and trying to reproduce the behaviour you describe.
