What about the observation (second half of Comment #42) that cupsd.conf
is *not* part of cups-daemon.list nor cups-daemon.conffiles ? This seems
to be the reason systems are ending up with ancient crufty cupsd.conf.
The same observation occurs in Comment #44, where a different approach
for keeping the file up-to-date is proposed. Personally, I favor the
dpkg conffile mechanism, that's how cups-browsed does it, and that
ensures that my cups-browsed.conf remains up-to-date (while prompting me
whenever I have customized the file). The same approach seems fine to me
for cupsd.conf. Does anyone know a reason why cupsd.conf is isn't
already part of dpkg conffile mechanism?
