Hmm. I'm not convinced by all your changes, let's see:
- 4de7ecc adds unncessary noise to the ipp-everywhere patch: moving from
"ab-style" to "index-and-timestamps" makes this commit bigger than it
is. I use the following .quiltrc, which reduces the noise by quite a
bit:
QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches
QUILT_NO_DIFF_INDEX=1
QUILT_NO_DIFF_TIMESTAMPS=1
QUILT_REFRESH_ARGS="-p ab"
- 1b3ad91 introduces a patch lacking DEP-3 headers. These are really
useful for keeping track of where things came from, please make sure to
write them for all patches (even if temporary).
- 0996f59 installs the ippserver binary in cups-client, but doesn't
explain _why_, and doesn't install the ippserver manpage. I'm far from
convinced that ippserver should be installed at all, and especially not
in cups-client. I'd probably make it live in its own package.

For one reason, CUPS 2.0.x doesn't build successfully on all Debian
release architectures:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=cups&suite=experimental
Uploading this version to unstable will increase the urge to fix the
mips FTBFS, for which I have no capacity, unfortunately.
I'm quite confident that CUPS >= 2.0.2 will end up in Stretch, but in
its current state, it cannot enter it, given that it lacks a mips build.
Cheers,
OdyX
