foomatic-db-gimp-print provides things for foomatic, cupsys-driver-*
provides things for cupsys.

Looking through things, what should probably happen (eventually) is for
cupsys to include the drivers in _that_ package (maybe, dunno if it's
been discussed and rejected before or not, but it should be broached.)

For hoary, the best solution seems to be to include
cupsys-driver-gimpprint and cupsys-driver-gimpprint-data in main.  There
is little additional risk, and the source is already in main, etc.

Any thing else requires deviation from Debian in packaging, in order to
deliver the same files anyway.

Having discussed this with mdz, and based on the previous discussion, I
plan to go ahead and make the seed changes tonight.
