Bug description:

The cups pdf printer produces no pdf output file.

After deleting the pdf printer, the add printer function does not work as expected:
After selecting "Generic" as printer make, no pdf printer model is selectable.
I instead selected one of the existing ppd files in /usr/share/ppd/cups-pdf
but this did not make the pdf printer work.

The bug started by my recent update from cups-pdf, where pdf printing did work,
to printer-driver-cups-pdf.

Submitted upstream as Issue #5219. #5219 is a duplicate of #5170. #5170
has been fixed in CUPS 2.2.7.

- The cups-driverd program incorrectly stopped scanning PPDs as soon as a loop
  was seen (Issue #5170)
