Hi Joe,

Sure it would! It helps keeping the pool of printing-related packages together 
and shares the maintenance load.

It'd be great if you happened to maintain your package in git and could push 
it to alioth, see http://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/Git

Okay, there we go:

* Lintian gave me an informational error:
    cups-bjnp: spelling-error-in-binary usr/lib/cups/backend/bjnp
               recieved received
    This could be fixed by patching.
* binary package name: I would tend to name it something like
  cups-backend-bjnp, to make it more descriptive.
* description: how it was done (reverse engineering) isn't of much interest
  for users.
* content: TODO isn't useful in a binary package. Same for that small AUTHORS.
* standards-version: we have a new version of Debian policy: 3.9.4 :-)

Cheers, and welcome in the Printing Team :-)
