For the time being (cups-filters 1.17.4) I have now applied a solution
where pdftopdf detects PDF forms using QPDF (thanks to Tobias Hoffmann,
smilingthax) and if there is a form uses and external utility for the
flattening, preferrably pdftocairo, if not present, Ghostscript. After
the flattening the original treatment by QPDF is performed.

If none of the utilities is available, no form-flattening is performed
(but as cups-filters-core-drivers depends on poppler-utils, pdftocairo
is always there).

The originally planned QPDF-based solution is still in the works and
will most probably added in a later release of cups-filters. Therefore
the QPDF task stays open.
