BTW, please start from the gnome-print_0.7-2 I uploaded to Incoming/ this
morning as this version fixes all the outstanding bugs reported against
it. (I don't like to give away a buggy package, now I feel better ;)
Also, you indeed probably should split it in several packages (Yes, I
should have done so myself ;).
I'd say 4 packages:
libgnomeprint2 Arch: any
gnome-print-dev Arch: any
gnome-print-fonts Arch: all

-dev packages usually don't need to be versionned.
