Due to the many regression bugs which the foomatic-filters package in
Intrepid has (see changelog below) I propose to replace Intrepid's
foomatic-filters by the final 4.0.0 release (which is currently in
Jaunty).

An SRU request is uploaded to -proposed. Here is the debdiff

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21399871/foomatic-
filters_4.0.0%7Ebzr177-0ubuntu1_4.0.0-0ubuntu0.1.debdiff

Note that its is long, as due to the final release also the
documentation is updated and the machine-generated files of the build
system got regenerated. The following diff contains only the changes in
active code (which actually modify the /usr/bin/foomatic-rip
executable):

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21399918/foomatic-4-intrepid-foomatic-4
-final-changes-in-active-code.diff

The following debian/changelog contains all fixes on active code, the
upstream ChangeLog I do not show here as it is much longer due to the
documentation changes and the 4.0.0 final release.

foomatic-filters (4.0.0-0ubuntu0.1) intrepid-proposed; urgency=low

  * New upstream release (4.0.0 final release, BZR rev 195, all the changes
    against rev 177 as shipped by Intrepid are regressions against Hardy)
     - Let custom JCL options get correctly inserted.
     - Treat "None" as empty string in string and password options.
     - String and password option settings got inserted with the
       "Custom." prefix.
     - Fixed segfault which occured when using string options (LP: #318614).
     - Make foomatic-rip working correctly with PostScript of StarOffice 8.
     - The PostScript code of PostScript options did not get inserted when
       the spooler is CUPS and foomatic-rip had to convert incoming PDF to
       PostScript (LP: #299918).
     - Made merging of PJL options of the PPD and of the driver correctly
       working (LP: #318818).
     - Corrected the insertion of the "%%PageSetup" sections (LP: #318818).
     - Inserted PostScript option settings from pstops were not corrected
       with custom option settings done on the command line (numerical,
       string, password).
     - If there was only one PJL option in the PPD no PJL got added at all
       (LP: #303691).
     - Made foomatic-rip conforming with the LSB compliance tests (LSB bug
       #2423, LP: #318818).
     - Fixed infinite loop when page-specific option settings are used
       (LP: #318816).
     - Made foomatic-rip correctly working with custom JCL options.
     - Option setting insertions got corrupted when there is a composite
       option in the PPD file (Upstream bug #173, comment #23).
