You point out "definitive" breakage while I ask for _actual_ breakage.

If system-config-printer fails to build from source then please file a 
severe bugreport against system-config-printer *with* *build-log* and 
tag it as depending on this bug.  Then we have something concrete to 
work with.

Looking briefly it seems system-config-printer wrongly declare 
DEB_PYTHON3_MODULE_PACKAGES _after_ including the CDBS snippets.  I'd be 
surprised if that ever worked as intended.

When DEB_PYTHON3_MODULE_PACKAGES was introduced with cdbs 0.4.90 in 
december 2010, it came with the following note:
