Title:
  [regression] cups-daemon  hard-depends on avahi-daemon

Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  cups-daemon  depends on avahi-daemon

  This is probably the worst workaround possible for bug 1178172
  Which is a combination of two separate issues
   o   "cups requires avahi-daemon to be started before cups"
   o   "cups's init script won't attempt to start cups if avahi-daemon is not installed / running"

  There was no such issue on ubuntu 13.04 Precise or before.
