Public bug reported:

[ Impact ]

During our testing on Linux desktop platforms, we found that there’s a
low chance (2/200) that loading the parport_pc module on a platform
without paraports leads to ACPI stress test failure. Similar issues have
been reported in different places[1][2]

The module loads unconditionally due to module.conf in cups-filters.
This is unecessary because modaliases and related mechanism (udev etc.)
already handle this.

[ Fix ]

Do not include parport_pc module in cups-filters' debian/local/modules-
load.conf, in the following merge proposal from Debian:

- Disable parport_pc automatic load (Closes: #1139318):
https://salsa.debian.org/printing-team/cups-filters/-/merge_requests/3

[ Test ]

1. Install the packge
2. Redo the ACPI stress test on the said platform. The platform should pass the 
test.
