Hi, When Till and I talked about this on yesterday's OP monthly call, we concluded that keeping ippusbxd in a separate package was the best choice. Till said that he would move the code to a Git repository (I hope this pleases you Tim) and link it off the Open Printing website.
If anyone objects to keeping ippusbxd in a separate package, please speak up now.
