Bug Description

name changes, gimpprint -> gutenprint; package availability

I was looking over the ijsgimpprint packages in Debian, tonight, when I noticed that there's been a change in package names (as well as a minor-version upgrade).

( original package name -> new package name )

1) ijsgimpprint -> ijsgutenprint

2) foomatic-db-gimp-print -> foomatic-db-gutenprint

3) gimpprint-locales -> gutenprint-locales

4) gimpprint-doc -> gutenprint-doc

In Debian, each older package is now depending on the newer package, so upgrades should go fine for it.

The issue that I hope to bring to attention is that none of the gutenprint packages appear to be available in Ubuntu, presently.

Gimpprint->Gutenprint has been a pretty important part of the Linux printer config, on probably not a few systems. So, I thought that I should bring this to attention, in order that the gutenprint packages might be made available in a next Ubuntu release.

Thank you.
