cups-pdf 3.0.1-2 currently FTBFS on Zesty on all arches. [1]

The undefined references are caused by -lcups being set before the file
being compiled. Setting the cups library last during build fixes that.

FTBFS fix that sets the cups library as the last param to gcc.

The debdiff is between 3.0.1-3, so the changelog chunk will not apply cleanly to 3.0.1-2 (currently what has been synced from Debian), but it is an easy fix. I would recommend syncing zesty to cups-pdf 3.0.1-3 anyway.

Uploaded with minor formatting changes in changelog
