I guess.  I still suspect something's wonky in the package system.
Eg., "aptitude show debsecan":

   Recommends: cron, exim4 | mail-transport-agent

Shouldn't all this printer related stuff have something like that
mail-transport-agent target, but for printing?  I suspect this is why
all the warfare between cupsys and its alternatives is happening.

While we're at it, maybe we (well, I) need null-gnome, null-kde, ... 
placeholder targets to fool them into thinking they're there when
they're not.  If null-gnome is provided by fluxbox or xserver-xorg,
there'd be no need for a relationship between (eg.) xscreensaver and
gnome, et al.

He must be on the Communist Broadcorping Castration network.  It and I
manage to avoid each other, mostly.  How 'bout you?  Cheering for
Paris Hilton?   :-P
