Title:
  Options in /etc/default/cups can be ignored

Status in cups-filters package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If the file `/etc/default/cups` does not exist, or it contains 
`LOAD_LP_MODULE=yes`, then *cups-filters* creates the file 
`/etc/modules-load.d/cups-filters.conf` with the contents:
  ```
  # Parallel printer driver modules loading for cups
  # LOAD_LP_MODULE was 'yes' in /etc/default/cups
  lp
  ppdev
  parport_pc
  ```

  However, if the file `/etc/default/cups` contains `LOAD_LP_MODULE=no`
  and *cups-filters* has already created the file `/etc/modules-load.d
  /cups-filters.conf`, then the previous behavior equivalent to
  `LOAD_LP_MODULE=yes` will persist even after completely reinstalling
  the *cups-filters* package.

  The only solution is to manually remove the file `/etc/modules-load.d
  /cups-filters.conf`. I think the proper behavior would be for *cups-
  filters* to remove the file if it exists during installation but
  `/etc/default/cups` contains `LOAD_LP_MODULE=no`.
