Hello Alexander,

It's already depended on:

$ apt-cache show cups|grep Recommends
Recommends: smbclient (>= 3.0.9), foomatic-filters (>= 4.0), cups-driver-gutenprint, avahi-utils, ghostscript-cups

It cannot be "Depends:", since 

- ghostscript-cups is already depending on cups, and thus this would
  be a circular dependency which breaks ghostscript-cups
- you can actually run cups without ghostscript-cups

Thus this matches the semantics of recommends, and they are installed
by default since lenny, too.

Thanks,

Martin
