Targetting for Maverick since this is a regression from lucid

Re-adding gutenprint task, as the fix in the upstart script does not cover the problem reported here (but another important problem). The problem reported here could even occur before upstartification of CUPS. The problem reported here can be solved by a simple wait loop in the post-install script.

This bug was fixed in the package cups - 1.4.4-6ubuntu1

---------------
cups (1.4.4-6ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low

  * ubuntu-upstart.dpatch: Wait until daemon is ready, to avoid race
    conditions with init scripts which expect cups tools to work right after
    restarting it. This fixes a regression from the upstartification.
    Patch cherrypicked from packaging trunk. (LP: #647369)
  * debian/control: Update Vcs-Bzr: for Maverick branch.

This bug was fixed in the package gutenprint - 5.2.6-0ubuntu8

---------------
gutenprint (5.2.6-0ubuntu8) maverick; urgency=low

  * Let steps which come after the reload of CUPS in the post-install script
    of the cups-driver-gutenprint binary package wait for the CUPS daemon
    getting ready (LP: #647369).
