Just to check, I tried to see if I could package the new upstream myself. Nope. Too many of the Debian patches no longer apply. However, I nonetheless ran lintian-brush and pushed that in. I also reverted the change to tests (missing a digit on the Closes statement - sorry about that). While this restores printing the full series of test documents, an unrelated issue appears with debian/tests/cups-basiccommands hanging at the step to create the 2nd test queue. Martin-Éric
