Update to Ubuntu 10.04 removed cups-pdf

[Walter Garcia-Fontes]

Binary package hint: update-manager

This report is the same as #457221 and #362689, I file it because these other bug reports refer to previous versions of Ubuntu and this is still present. An explanation by Martin-Éric Racine in #457221 says that this is because cups-pdf was dropped as a dependency for ubuntu-desktop, but should it be removed if the package is not obsolete?

This has happened to me also in the upgrade from Intrepid to Jaunty and from Jaunty to Karmic.
