After a couple hours looking more deeply into this, I found part of the
problem. (This was made slightly easier because I'm running woody +
backports, so the number of possible culprits was relatively small.)
Apparently the semantics of sed changed slightly between 4.0.9-5 and
4.1-1, causing something that uses sed in the long pipeline from "lpr ->
apsfilter -> gs -> printer" to break. So a workaround is to downgrade
sed to version 4.0.9-5 or earlier, which should result in printing via
apsfilter working once again.
Still researching which package Bug 258042 should be reassigned to --
right now it appears to be one of {sed, a2ps, psutils}.
