they do not accomplish the same thing, the first command
will grab cupsys and it's dependencies only, which from what my
woody system tells me is:

Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4), libcupsys2 (>= 1.1.13-1), libpam0g (>= 0.72-1),
libslp1, libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 (>= 1:2.95.4-0.010810), zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.3),
cupsys-pstoraster, adduser (>= 3.12), debconf

so no 'foomatic' stuff there.

the cups packages I have installed:
cupsys						install
cupsys-bsd					install
cupsys-client					install
cupsys-driver-gimpprint				install
cupsys-pstoraster				install
libcupsys2					install
libqtcups2					install
qtcups						install


I use the gimpprint driver.
