I'd prefer if the GUI CLIENT frontend packages were added as Suggests: to
the client cupsys package, any eventual GUI server frontends added as
Suggests: to the server cupsys package, and no task-cups-printing package
tot ever see the light of the day.
The less task-* packages we have, the better. Besides, that's what Suggests:
(and Recommends:, I suppose) are there for.
Now, task-print-server (or whatever the task package for printing is) might
depend on lpr | lprng | cupsys (not real package names). That's something
else entirely. I personally don't think CUPS is stable enough yet to be
pushed as a standard printing package for Debian (I may not have worked in
any CUPS stuff for a while, but I do read the CUPS mailing list), but that's
not for me to decide, AND only my humble opinion.
