tags 519265 +patch +fixed thanks There's been no reply from any of the 6 maintainers listed as Uploaders for cups, the most recently active maintainer posted an RFA for cups in #532097, he lists himself as accepting low threshold NMUs on all his packages... and my patience waiting for a fix to this bug has been completely exhausted!
Thus, I'm about to upload an NMU of cups to the delayed queue that disables texttopdf as per the patch below.
