the problem is the missing link to /var/spool from /usr/spool. since there are no references to /usr/spool/lpd in lpd, this most certainly comes from the /etc/printcap file. it certainly does on my system (the printcap is generated automatically by the distributed printing people). which brings up one of the things that i am beginning to find annoying about linux these days: this so called file system standard, which seems to be getting weirder and weirder every day, and more and more different than the other unixes. i used unix long before there was even linux, and for a while it was a pleasure to watch linux transform itself into a full fledged unix-like operating system. but now it is beginning to suffer from the emacs syndrome, insisting on doing things its own way for the sake of being different (or so it seems to me). don't get me wrong, i love linux and emacs (i am typing this in emacs on a debian/linux machine) but i do think that the fsf people suffer form terminal grandeur and debian, by choosing to follow them so closely, is beginning to exhibit the same symptoms.
