Looking at the changelog for cups, it looks like 1.5.0-5 had a bug 
reported against it:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=641182

which has been fixed in 1.5.0-6. The bug has only just been marked as 
closed, so the new version should enter wheezy/testing (and presumably 
stable updates) soon.

It is slightly confusing that reportbug seems to take into account 
updates that haven't yet filtered through to the live systems.
