James, the problem is the following:

In CUPS 1.3.x DNS-SD/Zeroconf broadcasting was implemented using APIs
which are available in Avahi, in CUPS 1.4.x other APIs were used which
do not exist as Debian/Ubuntu packages. The Avahi implementation of
libdns is incomplete. They exist in free software libraries, but these
were never touched by Debian or Ubuntu developers.

So the only way to get it into Lucid without introducing completely new
packages is either patch CUPS 1.4.x with code of CUPS 1.3.x or to
include the libdns with the needed APIs in the CUPS package and link it
statically.
