Acroread doesn't depend on CUPS, it depends on libcupsys2. No doubt so
that it can do printer discovery. Mozilla does the same thing. But you
could still use the far superior lprng if you liked. :)
As for KDE... I imagine what's actually going on is that some sub-part of
the KDE meta-package depends on CUPS (or libcupsys2), and so messing with
that wants to remove the meta-package. I'm not about to install KDE just
to find out.
