I suppose that cups.path is only for booting, i. e. you want to start
cups.service on boot, not again on demand on a running system. Does it ever
happen that cups.service terminates by itself due to inactivity? If not, this
provides a good enough workaround for not stopping cups.path properly in the
maintainer scripts. If yes, this appproach doesn't work.

Note that you probably want to do the same for cups.socket, with the same
reasoning as above.
