Bug#460094: [Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#460094: cupsys: No option to change default error policy [patch]

Thank you! This should also be sent to upstream for inspection and
adoption.

You can send LP bugs with email [1], but don't bother here. Debian's
and Ubuntu's cupsys packages are developed in a shared repository, so
we'll fix it in both places.
Thanks,
