aptitude is just doing what the package dependencies tell it to do.
foomatic-gui Depends: python-gnome2-extras
python-gnome2-extras Depends: python-gnome2-desktop
python-gnome2-desktop Depends: libgtksourceview1.0-0
libgtksourceview1.0-0 Depends: libgnomeprint2.2-0
libgnomeprint2.2-0 Recommends: cupsys
If you think this is inappropriate, I suggest you file a bug on
libgnomeprint2.2-0.
