I tested it today.

Upgrading from 1.2.7-4 was smooth and there wasn't any errors.

Printing a sample page to my USB printer Canon MP730 was succeeded via
Web UI, cupsys-client command line, and Firefox (it called lp command).

Using Web interface seemed work mostly.
I could adding/removing a printer, printing a test page,
managing cupsd.conf and viewing logs.

I found a few problems:
- - Files in /etc/cups/ppd/ should be chown cupsys:lp to allow to modify.
  This will be cared by postinst.
- - cups-pdf won't work anymore as q-func had descirbed.
  I think it's better to describe at NEWS file about that CUPS now run
  with normal user mode.

Thanks,
