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

[Hagen Fuchs <code@hfuchs.net>]

Hello again,

Thanks for the effort, appreciate it!

I have now pretty much exhausted my options by playing with Avahi's
settings (and CUPSens, for all I know).  For example, I set

    browse-domain=domain.local

in Avahi's config and got at least my Ubuntu test client to go along
with that.  Not Macs, of course, they aren't quite as forgiving.   My
options reduce to:

  1. Make a clone of every CUPS 1.5 machine and keep it running
     alongside the updated machines for as long as the domain->nodomain
     transition lasts; or

  2. Write a small script that takes every "nodomain" record and creates
     a replica with only the 'Service Name' field changed to the old
     form.

#2 seems promising and something I'd look forward to do (wield that old
800 pound chainsaw again).  I will call the project 'Avahi Aliases' --
it will be an instant classic.  :)

Input/concerns welcome (for example, I have as yet no idea on how to
get/inject Bonjour packets out of/into Avahi)!
