Bug Description
Binary package hint: cups
When I upgraded from Maverick to Natty Beta 1, I got a debconf dialog asking me what to do about configuration changes to /etc/cups/
I suspect most non-developer users would not know what 'cups' is and would not know which choice is best for them. This detracts from the overall upgrade experience.

Did you change something in "Server"/"Settings" in system- config- printer ("System" /"Administratio n"/"Printing" )? This changes /etc/cups/ cupsd.conf and this causes the prompt during update.
Pitti, should we change something here?
