I set the default to without cups because that is the
version of least surprise. It seems to me that installing a graphics
package shouldn't install a print package, a network package,
etc. etc. so that's how it's set. I can easily reverse that.
Installing cups-libs (and the packages it depends on, including
avahi) shouldn't cause any harm unless they are really used. Which
isn't the case unless ghostscripts cups driver is used. Correct me
if I'm wrong.
You're not wrong. And avahi will not run if you don't enable it.
Why install cups, avahi, and dbus if you'll never use them?
That's three large packages, three user IDs, etc. etc.
I'm advocating installing less useless code.
