Yeah, I was planning to remove it from the X.Org packaging as discussed previously, but not until after the first upload to experimental, but before moving to unstable.

It's up to you what to do with the monolithic tree, and for the modular tree I had assumed that xprint would be split off in to its own module like everything else, which you would then maintain.
