Fantastic!

Practically all non-PostScript PPDs need foomatic-rip to run (including
PPDs from foomatic-db, hplip and gutenprint).
This would mean all PPDs should be installed inside foomatic-rip
providing no distinction at all.
After your comment and a comment from Henrique de Moraes Holschuh I
decided to simplify the PPD File Structure Specification at
http://wiki.debian.org/PpdFileStructureSpecification.
Therefore I think it would be better to use /usr/share/ppd/foomatic-db
since all PPDs come from this project.

Thanks again for this.
I think a better name for foomatic-filters-ppds would be
linuxprinting.org-ppds and the new binary package should include the
name postscript to avoid confusion, eg. linuxprinting.org-postscript-ppds.

Sorry for my late answers.
