Probably making the print server task install it instead of lpr, which
would have a side effect of making sure it's on CD#1 if it's not
already. Probably also demoting the lpr package to optional and moving
cups from there to standard. Possibly making lsb depend on part of cups

CUPS is configurable via ordinary text configuration files like most
Unix programs, a web interface (which is what I use), GNOME or KDE
frontends, probably a number of miscelleaneous toolkit frontends, too...
Personally, I'm surprised

Any reason not to change the default?

Terribly sorry about this. It's only gnome-cups-icon which leaks like
mad, so you can kill that and use eggcups instead (looks almost
identical).

Well, lprng isn't lpr... but if there are clienty things you want,
you could probably use lprng's clients with CUPS's lpr server.
