Didier, note that rastertopdf was installed all the time, via the cups-filters-core-drivers binary package. It serves for PWG Raster input (so that the combo of CUPS and cups-filters emulates an IPP Everywhere printer). Now with the new CUPS this rastertopdf understands Apple Raster in addition. So what has to be done now is simply dropping urftopdf, not install rastertopdf in the cups-filters binary package a second time.

rastertopdf should continue to be in cups-filters-core-drivers binary package, as it is part of the level-2 printing stack (driverless printing, support only for known PDLs, for mobile devices and appliances).
