I guess I'm not running Debian:

toncho/~ sudo apt-get -s remove cupsys-client
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package cupsys-client is not installed, so not removed
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 575 not upgraded.
toncho/~ sudo apt-get -s remove cupsys       
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package cupsys is not installed, so not removed

toncho/~ sudo apt-get -s remove cupsys-common

On the other hand, it is, um, "surprising" what depends on libcupsys2:

toncho/~ apt-cache rdepends libcupsys2
