Great; thanks.

Meh. So far, most of the work in the Printing Team was done directly in the 
packages, so there is not much documentation. Every existing documentation is 
under http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Printing (currently). Most of the changes 
are "man dh_pyppd", "if needed, use a ppd updater snipper" and "install the 
.drv files instead of providing pre-compiled PPD files". But, sorry, there is 
not much documentation (yet). To be fixed, for sure. :-/
