Samuel, for what is file2brl exactly good for and how important is it for
the Braille printing support of cups-filters?

It is not strictly essential, in that liblouis-bin could be used instead
to get the braille translation.  That will lower the quality of the
translation, because liblouis-bin has no notion of document structure
for instance, so it will not be able to properly use the title/paragraph
signs, etc, it will only able to translate the raw text output.  If we
do this, we'd need a way to warn the user through CUPS that he should
really install liblouisutdml-bin to get better output.

Thanks. So if I add liblouis-bin to Depends: and move liblouisutdml-bin to Suggests: does everything "just work"? Or does it need changes in the upstream code?

If changes are needed, Samuel, please post a patch here. Also please post a patch to get a warning into error_log telling the user that with liblouisutdml-bin he gets better results. Make sure that the warning also appears in error_log if the user uses the default LogLevel and not "debug". Thanks in advance.
