State of the PpdPrintingSpecification?

[Matthias Klose <doko@ubuntu.com>]

Many packages still have the /usr/share/cups/model directory hardcoded,
in most cases it's derived from cups-config --datadir.  I'm proposing to
add an option --modeldir to cups-config, that points to /usr/share/ppd
on Debian based systems. A fallback safe call to get the model dir would be

  d=$(cups-config --modeldir) || d=$(cups-config --datadir)/model; echo $d

which would work for backports as well.

Is anybody working on gutenprint to comply with the spec?
