Till, the parport_pc module already has modaliases and is supposed to be
auto-loaded. Adding it to cups' init.d script is the worst of all
possible solutions, I'm afraid:

 * It's not inherently related to cups
 * It loads the parport_pc module for everyone, unconditionally, thus wasting 
resources for the 99% of people who don't need it
 * It's done in the slowest possible manner.

If we want all systems to load parport_pc by default (which we don't),
then it should be built into the kernel or added to /etc/modules. But it
really should just autoload.
