Well, I have to admit it puzzles me a little. debdiff doesn't show
anything fishy, dpkg -c either. In the three cases (cups 1.4.4-7, cups
1.4.4-7+squeeze1, cups-pdf 2.5.0-16) /etc/cups is a directory. It'd
help to check if /etc/cups is indeed a folder and not a symlink or
something on Joseph system.
