You can safely ignore any CUPS warnings about deprecated PPD file
support functions here. The deprecation in CUPS means that these
functions are removed in a later feature release of CUPS (not
necessarily the next feature release). The next feature release happens
near the end of this year at the earliest, but Google Cloud Print will
be discontinued at the end of this year, where google-cloud-print-
connector will get useless and therefore removed from the distro. So it
does not make sense to migrate the PPD API use to newer IPP-based CUPS
APIs.

So the only thing to do here is to not consider warnings as errors in
the build of this package and also make sure to use accessor functions
for the IPP data structures.

Also do not hesitate to use distro patches in this package, due to the
fact that its live ends this year, it is possible that the upstream
maintainer does not care about this package much any more.
