Bug#916178: roger-router-cli: missing dependency on cups

you can do it, as said before, I wasn't really sure about the reassign either
(I know such packages can have a working subset of functionalities and having an additional dependency is sometimes not the right thing to do!)

thanks for the explanation!

I'm not an user of roger-router myself, I just tried to fix RC bugs, but I'll be happy to see an upload or to upload it if you
have a patch :)

otherwise, I think people will just need to install the cups dependency theirselves
(or I can just add that dependency and live happy, but I have the feeling that the postinst/postrm can be tweaked to ignore the missing dependency?)
