I have just spent couple of hours before discovering that upgrade
to gutenprint (I am not sure, which part of it is to be blamed)
left my cypsys still expecting (now non-existent) foomatic
drivers. Obviously and most Debian-way would be to make stealth
reconfiguration of cupsys drivers to the new ones, but couldn't
you make some kind of BIG FAT WARNING for user, that he/she
should reconfigure all printers after upgrade please?

Thanks,

Matej
