Bug#824645: task-print-server: Please reconsider the dependencies of this package



Package: task-print-server
Version: 3.34
Severity: wishlist
Tags: d-i



cups and cups-client are Depends:. However, cups depends on cups-client
and has done so since version 1.3.10-3. From the changelog:

 [ Till Kamppeter ]

 [...snip...]

  * debian/control: Moved dependency on cups-client to Depends:, as                                                    
    cups-client is needed by the post-install script for the update of the                                             
    PPDs of existing print queues.

I would also query cups-bsd as a Depends: (or even as a Recommends:).
cups itself has it as a Suggests: and command line printing is well
covered by the System V utilities in cups-client.

Regards,

Brian.
