Hmm.
KDE pulls cups through a print-manager Recommends.
Others have system-config-printer.
I don't know what has GNOME.

My point, when removing the task-print-service tasksel package, was that it is
pointing directly to CUPS only, and a confusing select in d-i.
But you're right, removing it makes several packages with dangling relations,
and I'll file bugs against these.
As for the desktop environments, I don't really want to impose on them _new_
dependencies on CUPS; as pulling it or not is really a design/strategy choice.
