Bug Description
I use Evince instead of xpdf for reading .pdf files. So I start "Applications ->
System Tools -> Add/Remove Programs". Unselect "Office - xpdf".
There is not warning about uninstalling cupsys packages (cupsys,
cupsys-
xpdf I unexpectedly lost printing functionality!
IMHO uninstalling xpdf should not uninstall cupsys, it's mistaken dependency.
Xpdf is not GTK2 application, so it will not be the default apliication for
reading PDF files in GNOME in future (for example after mature Evince, gpdf) and
maybe will be removed from distribution.

the xpdf.desktop from gnome-app-install need an update, xpdf-reader has the
desktop file now
