 Are you sure this module is useful for most people?  There are other
 software providing CUPS support in GNOME, and this module only saw a
 single release 6 months ago, not many developers commits since that.

 I had a look at the 10 last reported bugs (the package has 26 bugs
 among which 10 with severity critical and priority high) and none of
 them has been worked on (except automatic responses saying the
 backtrace is incomplete).  That's quite a lot for a module not
 distributed in Debian nor Ubuntu.

 So, my personal feeling would be to stick with current tools instead of
 introducing that module, but perhaps I didn't see the added benefit
 very well.

   Cheers,
