I don't like Ubuntu's brute force approach to adding the PDF queue by directly hacking the CUPS configuration, which is why I haven't merged those particular changes into the Debian package. I'll thus leave this report as open and mark it as WONTFIX, in case anyone ever wonders why I have never merged them. I have already merged other Ubuntu that I find acceptable for Debian, though. :) Martin-Éric
