Perhaps a small nit, but cups installs a new lpr in /usr/local/bin. At
least in my environment, /usr/local/bin/ is parsed before /usr/bin/,
which means "lpr" is called from the cups package before the system
version of lpr. The cups lpr creates really strange errors like:

% ls | lpr
lpr: error - no default destination available.

% ls | lpr -Php5
lpr: unable to print file: server-error-service-unavailable

cups is a dependency for a couple of other packages, so the unsuspecting
user could install it without knowing that he could change his print
environment.
