I have to admit, I am not an expert on this. It's only a very minor 
issue anyway (please note that my initial bugreport was formulated as a 
question). I don't want to enforce a certain packaging practice with 
this bug report, I just wanted to express my surprise and make sure that 
both packages are recommended intentionally.

If there's a chance to break printer detection automagic in certain 
installations, this bug should rather be closed without further action.

Sorry for the noise!
