Hi team,
I would like to request a freeze exception for foomatic-db-engine 4.0.4-2,
actually in NEW. This update improves the migration away from foomatic-
filters-ppds by re-providing said package (which was dropped in 4.0.4-1).
This will allow seamless upgrades from Lenny.
(It also contains minor updates like Maintainer and documentation
improvements, which were ready before the freeze, but not uploaded.)
The debdiff from 4.0.4-1 to 4.0.4-2 is attached.
Thanks in advance, cheers,
OdyX

IMPORTANT: If your printer filter is not working (dumping raw
