The patch in question was removed in 2.5.1-1 as far as Debian and
Ubuntu are concerned:
* Dropped 70_cups-pdf_support-pdf-workflow.patch
+ This patch has received more criticism than praises from the end-users,
because it essentially renders the Ghostscript options in cups-pdf.conf
useless, plus it no longer applies cleanly to the upstream code.
>From this perspective, I'd mark the issue as fixed since that version. Agreed?
