As Till pointed out on the -printing mailing list, foomatic-filters is functionally replaced by cups-filters for a CUPS-based printing setup, it should be removed from tasks that want to pull CUPS as printer daemon. As for the maintenance, foomatic-filters is on the Debian Printing Team radar but wanders in the limbo between "as-is", "should be orphaned" and "should be fully removed".
