Good! I see that another major showstopper is actually cupsys[1], bugs
#193475 and #193671. Both reports are marked "grave" and still open
despite the fact that a) it is likely not the fault of cupsys
(#193475) or b) the submitter did not respond to requests for required
additional information.

I wonder if it makes sense to nag the cupsys maintainer to close or at
least downgrade these two.

Thanks,

Johannes
