debian/local/pyppd/pyppd/: Updated to pyppd 0.4.9, to suppress runtime
error tracebacks by putting a "try: ... except ...: pass" construct around
the main function call. This avoids Apport pop-ups when the execution of the
self-extracting compressed PPD file archives gets stopped by the calling
process (LP: #618017).

debian/local/pyppd/pyppd/ppd.py, debian/local/pyppd/pyppd/pyppd-ppdfile.in:
Let the compressed PPD archives not contain duplicate PPD URIs, even if the
lines reference the same PPD. Most printer setup tools cannot cope with
duplicate PPD URIs.

debian/patches/add-lidil-two-cartridge-modes.dpatch: For the Lidil printers
enable two-cartridge modes (black and color cartridge) in the hpcups driver
and assign the choices of the "Printout Mode" option to two-cartridge
moddes in the hpijs driver (LP: #235399).

debian/control: libsane-hpaio actually works without hplip, it only needs
a few selected files from hplip. What was still missing was
/etc/hp/hplip.conf. So moved over /etc/hp/hplip.conf to libsane-hpaio,
made libsane-hpaio only recommending hplip and hplip depending on
libsane-hpaio again, as hplip also does not work without /etc/hp/hplip.conf.
This configuration allows minumum setups for HP MF device support without
hplip, only using one of hpijs and hpcups for the printer and libsane-hpaio
for the scanner (Closes: #596467).

debian/control: Made libsane-hpaio depend on hplip and not vice versa
(Closes: #596467). Let hplip recommend libsane-hpaio to not break Ubuntu
standard installation.

* debian/rules: Let PPD files of hpijs-ppds use "foomatic-rip" as CUPS
  filter and not "foomatic-rip-hplip". This avoids an ugly link and
  problems when uninstalling hpijs-ppds.
* debian/hpijs-ppds.links: Remove the ugly "foomatic-rip-hplip" link from
  hpijs-ppds.

debian/control: Make user aware of that the tools in hplip-gui are Qt-based
(LP: #570842).

debian/rules: Running PPD compressor inplace did not work on the build
servers due to the .diff.gz not able to convey the empty file
pyppd/__init__.py. Re-added the file via "touch pyppd/__init__.py".

* debian/control: Added build and runtime dependencies for the PPD archiving
  and extracting.
* debian/rules: Let build process error out if PPD archiving errors out.

* debian/local/pyppd/, debian/rules: Compressed all the physical PPD files
  for the PostScript printers of the hplip-data package into an archiv file
  reducing the disk space occupation by a factor of 10, freeing several tens
  of megabytes on the Ubuntu Desktop CDs (or on any live CD based on Debian
  or a derivative distribution). The archives are self-extracting and located
  in /usr/lib/cups/driver/, so that CUPS automatically extracts the PPD
  files. Thank you very much to Vitor Baptista who developed this great PPD
  compressor in the Google Summer of Code 2010 (LP: #493282).
* debian/hplip.postinst: Updated auto updater for the PPDs of the already
  existing print queues to work with the new PPD archive.
* debian/control: Changed versioned conflict of hpijs-ppds with
  foomatic-filters-ppds. Now it conflicts for versions bigger than
  20000101 (real foomatic-filters-ppds packages) and not with
  foomatic-filters-ppds with a small version number (transitional packages).
