Should cups and foomatic-filters conflict with each other?

[Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@hungry.com>]

I discovered a serious problem when testing Debian Edu based on jessie.
The installation of Debian Edu based on testing fail because the tasks
are uninstallable.  I investigated, and the cause seem to be that
foomatic-filters and cups is not installable together.

Is this intentional, or should they be co-installable?  Is the
foomatic-filters package obsolete?  I notice from
<URL: http://packages.qa.debian.org/f/foomatic-filters.html > that the
last upload was in 2012, which made me suspect that the package is no
longer active maintained.

Cc to debian-edu@, to let all developers know about the problem.
