Rename package "cupsys" to "cups"

[Till Kamppeter]

Binary package hint: cupsys

The cupsys packages (and all occurences of "cupsys" in the names of
other packages) should be renamed to "cups". First, no one who I have
asked could tell me why in Debian and derivatives the CUPS package is
called cupsys and not cups. Second, this is very awkward when it comes
to user support (You do not know the user's distro and tell him
"/etc/init.d/cups restart") and when trying to create
distro-independent LSB-based printing-related packages, like printer
drivers from a printer manufacturer.

I am the leader of the OpenPrinting project at the Linux Foundation
and I have developed the LSB DDK to create distro-independent driver
packages. The RPM macros which I have created to generate maintainer
scripts which work with both Debian and non-Debian distros look really
ugly. So cupsys should really be renamed.

cups (1.3.7-6) unstable; urgency=low

  * Rename the package to cups. This is the proper upstream name. Upstream has
    made it clear that the usual distro patches are not a trademark violation.
    This unbreaks all the documentation out there, which refers to "cups", not
    "cupsys" (including names of the init script), as well as unbreaks
    dependencies of openprinting.org's LSB printer driver packages.
    (Closes: #482296, LP: #233790)
  * debian/cups.{config,postinst}: Remove some old cruft.
  * debian/cups.preinst: Move conffiles to new names on upgrades, in a dpkg
    conffile question avoiding manner.
  * debian/cupsys.install: Install oopstops.{convs,types} in /etc/cups, they
    do not work in /usr/share/cups/mime (loaded too early). (Closes: #474109)
