This problem seems to have been "fixed" by modifying the conffile in
sid to be the same as the one in sarge.  This isn't a very good
solution, because you might decide that you actually want to both
change the contents of the conffile between stable releases, and
change the package owning the conffile.  But anyway.

I'm not going to close this bug, on the premise that this is the
maintainers responsibility, and they should really bother to respond
to their bugs (even if they are not "release critical"), and care if
their package is in testing or not.

Just for fun, I looked at the binary packages generated by cupsys2
which contain client.conf:

2031324435f8f317fdfcc39dfa0fe333  libcupsys2-gnutls10_1.1.23-10_i386.deb
2031324435f8f317fdfcc39dfa0fe333  libcupsys2-gnutls10_1.1.23-10sarge1_i386.deb
2031324435f8f317fdfcc39dfa0fe333  libcupsys2_1.1.23-12_i386.deb
2031324435f8f317fdfcc39dfa0fe333  libcupsys2_1.1.23-15_i386.deb
2031324435f8f317fdfcc39dfa0fe333  libcupsys2_1.1.99.b1.r4885-1_i386.deb
6626b6c3efff30870b7f92e495c299fc  libcupsys2_1.1.14-5woody12_i386.deb

Steve, were you able to reproduce this bug?  It seems to me that this
is a woody-only problem (well, sarge actually, since thats where the
fix would be required).  I don't know what was the contents of that
file between -10 and -12, since -10 was the *week after* snapshot's
disk lost information, and snapshot gives me permissions errors for
-12 (and everything else) anyway.
