With 'dpkg-reconfigure cupsys' you can choose backends.  Selecting
'serial' when asked will set the protection to 755 as you did by hand.
Serial printers are the minority now a day.  AFAIU enabling serial
backend, makes cups probe for serial printers.  So disabling by default
makes sense as a default for most of the cases (IMHO).

Hope this help.  Feel free to close the bug ;)
