Public bug reported:

This is a simplified MIR for the splitting of the cups-filters source
package.

With the second generation (2.x) cups-filters upstream got split into 5
independent component repositories:

- libcupsfilters
- libppd
- cups-filters
- braille-printer-app
- cups-browsed

See

https://openprinting.github.io/cups-filters-Second-Generation-First-
Beta-Release/

braille-printer-app still needs some upstream work for getting released,
the others were already released as 2.0b2.

libcupsfilters, cups-filters, and cups-browsed contain mainly the code
from the former cups-filters (1.x) which is already in Main. libppd
contains code from CUPS (libcups and cups-ppdc) which is also in Main.

As of

https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-mir

----------
If a new source package contains only code which is already in main (e.g. the 
result of a source package split or rename, or source packages with a version 
in the name), it may not need a full review. Submitting a MIR bug with an 
explanation (but without the full template) or updating/extending on the 
existing old MIR bug and re-opening it by setting it to "NEW" is sufficient.
----------

This report does not need the full template.

The original packages (cups-filters and cups) are in Main already for
more than a decade, so repetition of the original MIR would not be
useful. cups was already in Ubuntu from the very beginning on and
therefore probably in Main since the differentiation of Main and
Universe got introduced.

The binary packages are named as before (except SONAME of libraries
being 2 instead of 1 now), binary packages for libppd added. So current
dependencies and seeding should pull in everything (libppd is a library
and cups-filters depends on it).

libfontembed has been discontinued (folded into libcupsfilters, API
removed) but no package uses it (except the components of cups-filters
1.x thenselves).

braille-printer-app will be added to this report (or a new simplified
MIR report created) as soon as it gets released upstream. Its binary
package(s) will need to get seeded.
