Fine for me, as I said in my first mail I am the one to be blamed for
this situation.  So let me ask for an exception for the (just uploaded)
updated package, here the relevant changes...

Some notes:

1) the dependency on foomatic-filters is needed and actually I do not
   understand how we (the foo2zjs maintainers) forgot that.  This does
   not change anything for the print-server task, since it installs
   foomatic-filters-ppds which already depends on foomatic-filters

2) the new patch fixes a bug reported to LaunchPad, likely to be present
   on Debian as well:

     https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/foo2zjs/+bug/543177

   Given that this simply adds a `sleep 3` call, there should be zero
   impact on the rest of the package.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
