Ok I will try to add more distro on the way. could we add user-tags for bug report (in order to better triagging) ?

Control: retitle -1 RFH: cups --Common UNIX Printing System Hi, With my entry in the Maintainers' field of cups, the handling of both the Ubuntu sync and the 1.6.1 release pushed to experimental and some help in bugs triaging (hi Brian!), I think I can reasonably claim that cups is now properly maintained in Debian. But, as the task is still quite big (and involves various other packages in the printing stack), I'd still welcome some more help from people wanting to make printing a working feature in Debian; I'm therefore hereby making this a "Request for Help". Thanks for your attention, Didier Raboud, aka OdyX signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
