Package: libcupsfilters2-common
Version: 2.0.0-2
Severity: serious
When #1069630 was fixed, libcupsfilters2-common ended up with a Breaks:
cups-filters (< 2.0~) dependency.
This is odd, because #1069630 is about a conflict between
libcupsfilters-dev and libcupsfilters2-dev, and as far as I can tell, no
actual file conflict exists between libcupsfilters2-common and cups-filters.
As cups depends on cups-filters, this doesn't really leave any useful
way for libcupsfilters2 to be installed, which in turn renders
cpdb-backend-cups uninstallable.

libcupsfilters-dev belongs to a family of packages that are related to
cups v2.
libcupsfilters2-dev belongs to a family of packages that are related to
cups v3.
cups v2 and cups v3 are totally different software packages that must be
installed together.
So it is perfectly fine when there is a conflict between cups and
libcupsfilters2.
cpdb-backend-cups belongs to cups v3 as well, so as long as you want to
still use cups, you must not install it.
