To quote the report in 539156:
"cups-pdf requires user interaction because of calling lpadmin in the
postinst script. This violates Debian policy "3.9.1 Prompting in
maintainer scripts". Quote: "Prompting must be done by communicating
through a program, such as debconf, which conforms to the Debian
Configuration Management Specification, version 2 or higher.""
