It's correct that locale files should be moved in a 'common'
package instead of cupsys. (although this makes NEW package,
prevents entering CUPS package to unstable for a few days or weeks)

But as far as my observation, lpstat "works" without cupsys.
lpstat or any other commands seem fall back to English mode if 
cups_*.po file is missing (charmap file isn't important at
this stage).
