Package: cups
Version: 1.4.4-7
Severity: wishlist
http://wiki.debian.org/PpdFileStructureSpecification says:
User-provided and custom PPDs should be put into /etc/ppd/. Printer
queue setup tools should be altered to look for user-provided and
custom PPDs under this directory and should also copy PPDs to this
directory when a function like "Provide a PPD file..." is
used. Therefore the /etc/ppd/ directory needs to be group-writable by
user lpadmin, so that printer admins can install PPDs. Each package
that provides a printer spooler (cupsys, lpr and lprng) should check
if the /etc/ppd/ directory exists when installed, if not create it
and apply the necessary permissions.
But cups (in squeeze) does not do that.
