Perhaps what would be really cool is to subpackage cups-libs so that
what gs needs is small enough that cups be enabled by default in
ghostscript.  This is a tough situation; one man's necessary is
another's bloat.  But ghostscript isn't small - perhaps 14.5M vs cups
14M.

Just the libcups* is only 2M.  I can't believe I said that, having grown
up with RK05s.
