This should be fixed by the coming cups 1.7.1-11, which should land in
sid today and in jessie in 5 days. Please test it at your earlier
convenience (installing it on jessie should "Just Work"™.

Yet none of these went as far as Debian for what systemd socket
integration is concerned.

Version rollbacks are not supported by Debian, but that's weird. It's
most certainly a bug of dh-systemd though.

1.7.1-7 is still available from snapshots:
http://snapshot.debian.org/package/cups/1.7.1-7/
To be clear: Jessie will have a version bigger than 1.7.1-7 very soon
and I absolutely don't intend to roll the content of the package back to
it's -7 status, but rather fix the remaining bugs.
