Hi Bastien,

Great, thanks for the offer. All that we have as far as I'm concerned are:

a)	http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Printing (mostly outdated)

I have just updated it rapidly, to match the reality a little more. It would 
need more love and cleaning, feel free to give a hand there.

and

b)	http://bugs.debian.org/src:cups
	http://bugs.debian.org/debian-printing@lists.debian.org

of course. Unfortunately we have many unanswered bugs laying around: verifying 
if they are still valid under more up-to-date Debian+cups configurations would 
be very useful.

> Personnally i will like to have cups drop root

Although I find it unfortunate, I think that both Martin Pitt's [0] and 
upstream's [1] explanations make it sufficiently clear that engaging on such a 
road is a promise for _lot_ of work. Furthermore, that would be work not 
supported by upstream in any foreseeable future ot by any other distribution 
out there.

[0] http://bugs.debian.org/692791#86
[1] http://bugs.debian.org/692791#61

So unless other distributions join that long-term effort of maintaining a 
whole load of patches against cups, I would oppose such an effort.

But, I very much welcome any (and yours, of course) help in coping with the 
bugreports (past and new) and the next cups releases. I very much welcome 
bugreports with patches attached.

Cheers,

OdyX
