(Get the code!)
Sorry, I did not mean to close this bug by the last upload. I only added the "LP: #..." to reference to this bug.
It seems that the real solution is what I mentioned in the last paragraph of comment #2. As it is more programming effort (Finding algorithms to find out which PPDs are very similar and can be replaced by 1 full PPD plus diffs, finding other compression strategies specific to PPDs, code everything, ...) and also a nice student project, I thought about letting this get done by someone in the next Google Summer of Code, but then it will only be available for Lucid+1. Or did this turn too urgent now as the PostScript printer PPD part of the distro reached a critical mass?
