Looking at:
https://wiki.debian.org/MaintainerScripts

The new package, may need to have a preinst stanza which version
checks which package version upgrade is happening from and still
execute systemctl stop cups.path unit.
Upgrades after that one should be fine without a preinst.
And preinst should then be dropped after next LTS.

Obviously a new package needs to be prepared and we should test it a
bit.

Shall we start a https://bileto.ubuntu.com/ devirt PPA for this update
into zesty and eventual SRUs?
