Bug#512406: cupsys: recent lenny versions silently disables printer config in inetd.conf

[Berni Elbourn <berni@elbournb.fsnet.co.uk>]

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.3.8-1lenny4.1
Severity: normal


According to the cups documentation the line in inetd.conf is needed for lpd printing:

printer stream tcp nowait lp /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd cups-lpd -o document-format=application/octet-stream

Recent Etch updates and including this one silently disables the configuration rendering printing service unavailable. Is it possible to leave the configuration intact or please tell the user about the change during the update.
