A Provides: won't help for a versioned dependency that cnijfilter-
common. The ancient cupsys names were dropped in 2008, and the
transitional packages finally removed in 2010. After 5 years, Canon
should really be able to rebuild their drivers against the current
toolchains and libraries..
What you (or someone else who wants to support the Canon driver
packages) can do is to unpack the .deb, change the control file to fix
the dependency, repack it again. Or you can use "equivs" to build and
install a dummy libcupsys2 package so that you don't break the packaging
system.
