Well offering it as a choice is reasonable when running dpkg-reconfigure. I believe this is what Martin Pitt has said. If you think the approach is insecure I'd suggest posting a report to the cups mail list. -- the snmp backend should be installed in /usr/lib/cups/backend https://launchpad.net/bugs/54259 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
