Please add new printing-related packages to my upload rights into main

[Till Kamppeter]

Thank you very much. I was not aware that many packages I have asked for 
are in Universe. The addition of sane-backends and avahi will help a lot.

There is no more scanning package important for me. sane-backends allows 
me to do hardware-enablement (scanners and multi-function printers) and 
it allows me to lead everything into the new IPP-based all-Snap 
architecture.
