"quick" doesn't imply sloppiness. I hope you read the bug reports
contained in the changelogs you quoted. From LP: #1315766:
OdyX, sorry, bug was caused by sync with Ubuntu. I am updating the
version numbers in Breaks:/Replaces: now. Please issue 1.7.2-3 after
that, so it auto-syncs into Ubuntu.
** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu) Assignee: Didier Raboud (odyx) => Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)
Looks like someone cocked up; then responded rapidly to a bug report on
May 3; followed by an equally rapid upload of a new version of cups.
Surely you should be saying "This is awesome. This is part of what I
want Debian to be. Change to another OS? - Not me! Forgo this level of
co-operation and diligence? - No, bring on more of the same."

Thank you. I imagine you are as much concerned with quality as the
Debian Printing Team.
