Hmm, apparently you are right.
(I was under the impression, that the libcups2 package pulls all the needed
cups packages, but I was wrong here.)
So we will need to add cups to all the *-desktop tasks probably, to
make this work again.
(Rationale: the print server task has been removed from tasksel under the
assumption, that cups is installed with all desktop environments anyway.
However, this is not true as it seems, at least not now.)
