Bug#769842: foomatic-filters: Make paps the default for foomatic-filters/textfilter

[Stéphane Aulery]

Package: foomatic-filters
Version: 4.0.17-5
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hello,

I noticed that paps is not offered by debconf for package foomatic-rip. Yet it
is the only filter that is functional with utf-8 files.

Can we make paps the default, or at least add it to the proposals, please?

Two patchs are attached for this.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
