ONLY the stuff listed in the Depends: line above will get installed
by doing apt-get install cupsys. the rest have to be installed
seperately(you can specify them at the same time like apt-get install
package1 package2 package3)

I have never installed woody from the CDs(sofar only installed
potato then upgraded to woody). Perhaps you don't have the CD
which contains the rest of the packages, or not all of the
CDs are cataloged(check /etc/apt/sources.list to be sure all of
the CDs you have are listed).
