Oh no! This is tragic!!! I have the same, but what's even worse is that 
bluez-cups hplip cupsys-driver-gutenprint won't install or configure 
correctly because they all depend on cupsys which is screwed.

Mmmm guess that's what happens when you run dev software. Have to say 
that so far feisty has been more stable than both dapper and edgy. I had 
an uptime of 2.5 days on my desktop, with only one crash in openoffice. 
Not bad eh! Now that printing is out of the window I'm going to be a bit 
lost ;)
