It probably needs some more looking at. The difficulty with this sort
of thing is you have to not make it more complicated than it needs to
be.
I'm not really in favour of the standard lprng package changing that
much. Currently if you try to install it it removes cupsys-bsd which
makes sense for most people.
However I could duplicate some of the packages into a smaller package
that only has those files. Or just have lprng depend on it.
On second thoughts a package with the files duplicated probably makes
more sense. I really want this new package to be something that shouts
"use me only for strange circumstances".
