Bug#90664: How's the foomatic package for Debian going?

It may be instructive to look at the RPM spec [ Till, please send him
your spec, it doesn't seem to be in CVS ].
attached. The file is somewhat older, but it should work. Now there is a
huge spec file which also builds GhostScript, GIMP-Print and other
things, to make GIMP-Print maintaining easier.
Turn pre-compiling off in the spec file, because with the C accelerator
it is a waste of disk space to pre-compile the combo XMLs.
Oh - you get 100 bonus points if you can make the various spoolers in
Debian automagically convert configurations when you switch spoolers.
Foomatic has all that logic now, thanks to Till...
Ses the section about copying printer queues in the USAGE file.

%description
Foomatic is a comprehensive, spooler-independent database of printers,
printer drivers, and driver descriptions. It contains utilities to
generate driver description files and printer queues for CUPS, LPD,
LPRng, and PDQ using the database. There is also the possibility to
read the PJL options out of PJL-capable laser printers and take them
into account at the driver description file generation.
There are spooler-independent command line interfaces to manipulate
queues (foomatic-configure) and to print files/manipulate jobs
(foomatic printjob).
The site http://www.linuxprinting.org/ is based in this database.

fixed).
- Fixed bug of HP DeskJet 820C (PPA winprinter) being supported by
GIMP-Print.
- Removed support of the Canon BJC-5000 with the "bjc600" GhostScript
driver. This does not work.
* Wed Jul 25 2001 Till Kamppeter <till@mandrakesoft.com> 1.1-0.20010725mdk

- Copying of queues, driver change, queue modification without loss of
configuration settings and default option settings.
- Perl dumps of printer configuration including options and default settings
possible.
- Pre-compilation of the printer database.
* Wed Jul 18 2001 Till Kamppeter <till@mandrakesoft.com> 1.1-0.20010718mdk
- Made it possible to call foomatic-printjob as "lpr", "lpc", "lpq",
and "lprm" and it does the appropriate actions.
- Update alternatives stuff as with LPD/CUPS, so that one can also use
"foomatic-printjob" through the usual printing commands.
- The default spooler can be saved now.
* Tue Jul 17 2001 Till Kamppeter <till@mandrakesoft.com> 1.1-0.20010717mdk

- Included the cupsomatic filter script
- When a queue is set up, default options can be set now
- Help messages of foomatic-configure and foomatic-printjob cleaned up.
* Fri Jul 13 2001 Till Kamppeter <till@mandrakesoft.com> 1.1-0.20010713mdk
- Many bugfixes in "foomatic-printjob".
- "foomatic-configure" adds the Foomatic config file directory automatically
to the search paths of PDQ.
- Printing a help page under PDQ was broken.
* Thu Jul 12 2001 Stefan van der Eijk <stefan@eijk.nu> 1.1-0.20010712mdk

* Wed Jul 11 2001 Till Kamppeter <till@mandrakesoft.com> 1.1-0.20010711mdk
- initial release.
- Deleted the obsolete drivers "stp", "cZ11", and "hpdj".
- Patch applied which flushes the memory cache regularly, otherwise
foomatic-configure would hang when the Foomatic data of GIMP-Print is
installed.
