And the first one would be a serious bug.
I think we need to understand why APT cannot get it right. Could it be
caused by hal-cups-utils still being required by gnome? In this case it
should work better now.
Another (ugly) possibility might be to add a Conflicts: python-cupsutils
somewhere. This should help APT getting the scores right.
