Right, so you meant that CUPS-PDF should automatically add the PDF
printer in CUPS at installation time and delete it at removal time.

While this is doable, using postinst and prerm maintainer scripts, there
are disadvantages to this method:

1) Users might want to use a PPD other than the default one.

2) Automatically making this printer the default is not desirable in
cases when the user also has a real printer attached to their system. We
want to let the user freely choose which one should be the default.

I'd really like the input of the Ubuntu printing team on how to approach
this request.

PS: the instructions you linked to really point to CUPS itself failing
the grandmother test. :)
