Package: debian-policy Version: N/A Severity: wishlist I'm currently packaging the foomatic printer/driver database and print system. The database is written in XML and is used to create specialized printer description files that are needed by the included print filter backends.
The PPD files are necessary for the foomatic system to work but it is not strictly necessary to have the database installed which is rather large. The PPD files might well come with other packages and therefore I want to use a virtual package foomatic-data that is provided by the foomatic-db package as well as any other package containing PPD files for foomatic. Please add foomatic-data to the virtual package list.
