+foomatic-filters (4.0.3-0ubuntu2.1) karmic-proposed; urgency=low
+
+  * debian/patches/10_foomatic-rip-use-poppler-pdftops-with-cups.patch:
+    CUPS manipulates $PATH when calling filters and this makes foomatic-rip
+    calling CUPS' pdftops instead of Poppler's pdftops. This fails and so
+    always the awkward Ghostscript/pswrite fallback is used, producing
+    huge temporary PostScript files which the following process (driver
+    or PostScript printer) renders very slowly or does not render at all
+    due to excessive memory usage (LP: #463059).
