Further analysis shows that the
/etc/Xprint/C/print/attributes/document was corrupted (it ended with a
few hundreds of null characters), which led the "extract current
default resolution from that file" logic in the postinst to be
confused (grep returned "binary file
/etc/Xprint/C/print/attributes/document matches" instead of
"*default-printer-resolution: 600", result which contains "/"
characters and was inserted in a sed s/// command, hence ruining it.
Closing bug, as it is not a bug in the package, but corruption on the
local machine.
