Package: samba-libs
Version: 2:4.1.11+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
after having serious problems with the current cups 1.7 version
I have decided to go back to 1.5 version. The downgrade stumbled
over samba-libs dependency, though, which in turn requires a lot of
downgrades including the whole kde stack from 4.14 to 4.8 resulting in
an unpleasant:
--- Packages being removed because they are no longer used (66)
--- Packages being automatically held in their current state (14)
--- Packages being automatically installed to satisfy dependencies (39)
--- Packages to be downgraded (90)
--- Packages being held back (12)
--- Packages to be removed (14)
This looks like a major pain just because of a single dependency. So I
was curious whether samba-libs really needs libcups >= 1.6 or it would
work with older versions as well.
I cannot seem to find anything in the changelog that would mentioned
bump up of the dependency because of a bug or feature. The previous
libsmbclient which seems to be behind most of the dependency hell didn't
depend on samba at all
Version: 2:3.6.6-6+deb7u4
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.10), libcap2 (>= 2.10), libcomerr2 (>= 1.01),
libgssapi-krb5-2 (>= 1.10+dfsg~), libk5crypto3 (>= 1.6.dfsg.2), libkrb5-3 (>=
1.10+dfsg~), libldap-2.4-2 (>= 2.4.7), libtalloc2 (>= 2.0.4~git20101213),
libtdb1 (>= 1.2.7+git20101214), libwbclient0 (>= 2:3.6.0~pre3), zlib1g (>=
1:1.1.4)
This leaves a hope that 1.6 dependency came with the new samba-libs
which used the current up-to-date libcups version. But I might be
completely wrong here of course.

I assumed you were talking about a source level dependency on libcups2 >= 1.5,
not a binary-level dependency.
As Jeroen says, the dependency on libcups2 >= 1.6 in the binary package is
autogenerated because we build against a newer libcups in sid and apparently
end up using symbols only present in newer versions of cups.
The good news is that you should be able to get rid of this binary dependency
for your machine by just rebuilding the samba package without any changes.
Cheers,
Jelmer
