I managed to solve this bug. It is caused by dh_pyppd that fails to
find the .pdd files and does not generate the /usr/lib/cups/driver/escpr
file that is needed to install a printer.
The problem is that the ppds are in debian/tmp/... while dh_pyppd looks
for them in debian/$pkg/
The attached patch imitates dh_install that falls back to debian/tmp
if the requested file is not found in debian/$pkg.
Cheers
