Bug#419008: cupsys package not present in apt-get/aptitude

["tallison@tacocat.net" <tallison@tacocat.net>]

Package: cupsys
Version: stable
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

recent update to the 4.0 version and several dist-upgrades later
I am unable to find the cupsys package necessary to install the
cups server on my printer server.  Other packages are available.
aptitude displays <none> <none> as the current and available versions.

clang:~# apt-get install cupsys

Package cupsys is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  libcupsys2-dev cupsys-common cupsys-client cupsys-bsd
E: Package cupsys has no installation candidate
