Nowadays cups/README says:

    You will be asked for the administration password (root or any other user in
    the sys/system/root/admin/lpadmin group on your system) when performing any
    administrative function.

Do you think this is intuitive enough, or should Debian patch it to
say "root or any other user in the lpadmin group"?  Maybe it would be
better to explicitly mention the SystemGroup setting?

Thanks for a pleasant report,
Jonathan
