Of course, purging "all" CUPS files will also remove (and I quote from
apt-get's output):

  abiword* acroread* acroread-plugins* cupsys* cupsys-pt* epiphany-browser*
evince* gnumeric* gpdf* gs-esp* gtk2-engines-gtk-qt* gtklp* hplip* kaffeine*

libgtksourceview1.0-0* libkonq4* libwine-print* samba* xfe* xpp* yelp*

There is absolutely no reason for xfe or kformula or epiphany-browser to
depend on printer support at all, much less the presence of a specific
printing subsystem.

It's an ABOMINATION that Samba requires CUPS.  What?  Who decided that?

This just keeps getting worse.

I want advice.  Should I file critical bugs against every single package
above, or just write to the Leader?  I mean, KRENAME requires CUPS support? 
It doesn't and can't print!
