Bug#717245: cups-daemon: Bonjour record changed format from "printer@host.domain" to "printer@host" in 1.6

[Hagen Fuchs <code@hfuchs.net>]

Package: cups-daemon
Version: 1.6.2-10
Severity: important

Hello!

I am using CUPS in Debian testing to provide access to a pool of 30+
printers to all sorts of OSes (research institute).

Switching from CUPS 1.5.3 to 1.6.2, I noticed that it registers its
Bonjour records differently with Avahi:  `avahi-browse -a` now shows

    +   eth0 IPv4 ps22 @ cups                                   Internet Printer     local

instead of

    +   eth0 IPv4 ps22 @ cups.pks.mpg.de                        Internet Printer     local

This change, unfortunately, breaks printing to these printers from all
MacOS systems.  A work-around would be to remove all Bonjour-printers
from the clients' systems and re-add them again.

Considering our user base and the nerves of our IT support team, I'd
much prefer to keep the old record format.

So, is this change intentional?  If so, is there a way to revert to the
old format with CUPS 1.6?

(I have been playing with 'ServerName', 'ServerAlias' settings in
cupsd.conf -- to no avail.  I also tried changing the 'host-name'
parameter in Avahi -- dito.)

Thanks!

Regards,
  Hagen
