On my machine dpkg -L cupsys shows this :
$ dpkg -L cupsys | grep backend
/usr/share/cups/doc-root/help/man-backend.html
/usr/share/man/man7/backend.7.gz
/usr/lib/cups/backend
/usr/lib/cups/backend-available

/usr/lib/cups/backend-available/socket
/usr/lib/cups/backend-available/usb
/usr/lib/cups/backend-available/dnssd
/usr/lib/cups/backend-available/http
which matches with yours. Can you verify which version you have? Mine is
$ apt-cache policy cupsys
cupsys:
Installed: 1.3.5-1+b1
Candidate: 1.3.5-1+b1
Version table:
*** 1.3.5-1+b1 0
900 http://ftp.debian.org testing/main Packages
600 http://ftp.debian.org unstable/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
I tried checking the contents of the actual package.
$ dpkg -c cupsys_1.3.5-1+b1_i386.deb | grep backend

Had seen that before I posted :-) It is not that one. A
post-installation script is trying to create a symlink from http to ipp
and lpd and fails as it cannot find those two. Unless there is another
package which provides the two files, I _think_ it is a bug.
