Bug description:
I don't think the system-config-printer-gnome split makes sense any
more and it would be nice to get this package closer in sync with
Debian. In other words, let's drop system-config-printer-gnome and
move most of its contents back to system-config-printer but a few
files will end up in system-config-printer-common.
The last explicit merge was almost a decade ago:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/0.7.70-1ubuntu1 )
The split was done in 2008 for KDE's benefit:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/0.7.78+svn1799-0ubuntu2
- system-config-printer-kde no longer exists (it appears to have been
part of the kdeadmin source package which was removed a few years ago)
- Kubuntu only ships system-config-printer-udev so they aren't affected now
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/kubuntu/daily-live/current/zesty-desktop-amd64.manifest
- Ubuntu GNOME does not need the files shipped in system-config-
printer since GNOME has its own integrated Printers Settings panel.

In Ubuntu 16.10 I attempted to follow Debian's gnome-control-center
packaging and depend on system-config-printer-common only, but it
broke the Printers panel since Ubuntu's packaging moved the dbus
service to the system-config-printer-gnome package (See bug 1496860 &
bug 1623150 & bug 1637466 ).
