[MIR] brlaser

[Till Kamppeter]

brlaser is a printer driver for a group of cheap laser printers from Brother (Brother DCP-7030, Brother DCP-7065DN). To make the printers simply set up automatically, I would like to get this package into Main for Utopic.

The package is already in Universe, synced from Debian.

There are no security bugs known for this package, as it exists only for a few weeks, but as the code is only executed if the user has one of the supported Brother printers and only as the system user "lp" (not root), the security risks are very low.

Usage of the package is easy: If the user has one of the supported printers, system-config-printer (or any other printer setup tool) automatically sets up the printer with this driver. The user will not perceive anything special, the printer will just work, whereas without this package, the user will complain about a non-working printer.

Package installation is free of any debconf questions, there are also no config files belonging to the package.

The package is maintained upstream and at Debian, no known bugs. So usually it is enough to let it get auto-synced from Debian.

The package has no GUI, and so it does not need to follow any GUI guidelines or ship translations.

brlaser depends only on the CUPS libraries libcups and libcupsimage, it fulfills all the Debian packaging standards for printer driver packages.

The package is negligibly small, so no problem to ship it on the live CD/DVD.

Looks good, like the tests (including autopkgtest!). Just need a team bug subscriber for Ubuntu bugs.

Added ubuntu-printing as bug mail subscriber for this package.
