Ups, yes, I would have missed that, that's a good point. However,, some
time ago (the patch date is Fri Apr 23 14:29:36 2004, but that is just
the latest change to the config.ps patch in patch-deb) we dropped that -
we specify no o option, meaning file creation by default.

It probably was, when o | lpr was still enabled. But since it is
disabled now, and in fact there's no canonical print command any more, I
think we can drop the Suggests.
