Users don't expect printer drivers in net-*. (Also I don't buy the argument that package moves won't be worth the effort. Not doing the move means that any future packages will also have an inappropriate name.) No large preference for either media-print or sys-print here. >> 2) After introducing that, however, "net-print" becomes nearly empty. >> >> On a quick glance, the only *network*-specific packages in there are >> cups and lprng. Maybe one or two more which I dont recognize. Do a complete move please. Leaving a category with two packages doesn't make any sense. Ulrich
