Great. But… :-) It would be nice if you could take a look at these references (in increasing order of importance): * https://wiki.debian.org/DebianFrance/NewContributorGame#Packagers_for_non-free_Brother_printer_drivers * https://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2015/Projects/Packaging of further non- free printing drivers * https://github.com/illwieckz/debian_copyist_brother/ Where I'm going to, is that I wonder if we could not have a wider packaging work around the Brother drivers: they come in vastly different forms, but bundle essentially a wide set of mostly-identical scripts. Many of these scripts assume they are installed in /opt and also assume 'lpd' is still the printer server in use. As you mentionned: > I don't understand what does the script "cupswrapper/cupswrapperdcpj952n" > use for, so just keep as it is. Well. That script is doing dangerous things, and is supposed to be run as root. It should not be shipped in the binary package, if it's not necessary. If it is, it should be (heavily) patched. That amounts to saying I don't think the package as packaged currently is really suitable for Debian main. Given the amount of Brother drivers out there, it would be nice to address this in an "across-the-board" way. How do you foresee this? -- Cheers, OdyX
