Public bug reported:

I have released the second generation of cups-filters some weeks ago:

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

It is an architecture change needed for the transition into the New
Architecture of printing, where we will go all-IPP and classic CUPS
printer drivers/filters and PPD files will get replaced by Printer
Applications (emulations of driverless IPP printers).

To get a smooth transition and to fade out the PPD file support code and
its need to get maintained, I have split the upstream source package
cups-filters into libcupsfilters, libppd, cups-filters, braille-printer-
app, and cups-browsed. This especially allows to use the library
libcupsfilters in Printer Applications without pulling in the PPD file
support code in libppd.

The Debian/Ubuntu packages will also be based on the the 5 source
packages libcupsfilters, libppd, cups-filters, braille-printer-app, and
cups-browsed and not come from a single cups-filters source package any
more.

For testing this and also solving the problem that there is a package
named libppd in Debian which got abandoned 20 years ago (bug #2000411) I
decided to put all the new packages, of the 2nd generation of cups-
filters and also new packages depending on these, into a PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~till-kamppeter/+archive/ubuntu/new-arch-
dev/+packages

On one of these uploads, the one of the cups-filters package, I
accidentally uploaded directly to lunar and not to the PPA and it got
accepted into lunar-proposed.

It will not migrate to the release, as it FTBFS due to its build
dependencies libcupsfilters (>= 2~) and libppd (>= 2~) not being in
lunar.

I want to ask you with this bug report to remove/reject this accidental
upload, so that in the time being until everything with the 2nd-gen
cups-filters is solved, I can upload cups-filters 1.x packages again.
