how did cupsomatic-ppd get into testing?
The above package is in testing, even though it has one "grave" and one
"important" functionality bug.
First, printing stopped working due to the "grave" bug. This appeared
shortly after a kernel upgrade debacle in which I neglected to compile
the lp module into my new kernel, so I assumed the problem was caused by
my own stupidity and it didn't occur to me that it might be a bug in the
package.
Now, the package won't even finish installing due to the "important"
bug (conflicts with one of its dependencies), which finally prompted me
to visit its bug page and realize what my problem was all along.
Shouldn't versions of packages with this level of bugginess be kept out
of testing?
