Yes - actually I was checking in unstable! :) But if you don't
want to upgrade to at least woody, you can always DL the sources
for cups from woody or sid, then run dpkg-buildpackage in root
directory of the uncompressed source. That should build that
package unless you need something that might not be on potato.

For the package that gives the seg fault thing, try running
ldd <program name> - maybe it's missing a depend or maybe
potato is too old for it...
Thus I would still suggest getting the sources from testing and
trying to compile using dpkg-buildpackage. I think this
might work and should give you best results...
