OOOOOPS :
Read: "On lenny a plain update brings in cupsys-bsd that in turn removes
lpr package and consequently the lpd services."
(note also that it removes the executable, but leaves the script in
etc/init.d)
Thanks for this extra detail.
cupsys-bsd indeed conflicts with lpr, because it provides the same
service, that is a BSD printing service on port 515. additionally, it
provides BSD-style commands to manipulate the printer spool.
The way dpkg works, a package removal only removes the binaries; it
leaves the startup scripts and configuration files in place. If you
want to purge the scripts and configuration files too, you need to
manually specify -P for dpkg or --purge for APT's removal command.
