printer-driver-brlaser is out of date, buggy

[Pavel <nedurno@gmail.com>]

Hi Debian Printing Team,

You're mentioned as the maintainer of `printer-driver-brlaser` package. I feel obliged to draw your attention that this package is out of date.

The version appears to be 4-1. The latest release on https://github.com/pdewacht/brlaser/releases seems to be 6. Version 6 is substantially superior to v4. It includes a number of performance improvements and bug fixes which may create a lot of problems for raspberrypi/debian users who install their printer drivers via apt-get.

For instance:

If you could kindly update the package it will be highly appreciated.

Best Regards,

Pavel
