OTOH, we could make a first step to simplify Debian and drop apsfilter
completely, if nobody wants to maintain it. Magicfilter is much better,
IMHO, and having one way of printer setup would make things easier for
everyone. However, if apsfilter has some benefit over magicfilter, it should
stay until magicfilter has catched up (and of course, if there is an
apsfilter maintainer, it should stay also).

Otherwise, I wonder if anybody would miss it...

Thanks,
Marcus
