Jeremy, thank you for the debdiff. I tried to apply it, but it does not build.
First, I have downloaded the current version on Zesty and applied the debdiff to it. This worked perfectly, but when trying to build, the patches in debian/patches/series do not apply. What did I do wrong? Here is the console output: till@till-x1carbon:~/ubuntu/system-config-printer/zesty$ apt-get source system-config-printerter Reading package lists...

In other words, let's drop system-config-printer-gnome and move most of its contents back to system-config-printer but a few files will end up in system-config-printer-common. The last explicit merge was almost a decade ago: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/0.7.70-1ubuntu1 ) The split was done in 2008 for KDE's benefit: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/0.7.78+svn1799-0ubuntu2 - system-config-printer-kde no longer exists (it appears to have been part of the kdeadmin source package which was removed a few years ago) - Kubuntu only ships system-config-printer-udev so they aren't affected now http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/kubuntu/daily-live/current/zesty-desktop-amd64.manifest - Ubuntu GNOME does not need the files shipped in system-config- printer since GNOME has its own integrated Printers Settings panel. https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/system-config-printer/filelist In Ubuntu 16.10 I attempted to follow Debian's gnome-control-center packaging and depend on system-config-printer-common only, but it broke the Printers panel since Ubuntu's packaging moved the dbus service to the system-config-printer-gnome package (See bug 1496860 & bug 1623150 & bug 1637466 ).
