debian/patches/40_pdf-printer-support.patch: Support for PPD files for
native PDF printers. Set priority lower than for the PostScript PPD file
as native PDF printing is still experimental. Withou this patch it is not
determined whether the PDF or PostScript PPD file gets used.

debian/patches/33_udev-configure-printer-make-error-on-claiming-interface-0-non-fatal.patch:
udev-configure-printer doews not only claim the interface on which it
discovered the printer but also interface 0, whereas the "usb" backend
of CUPS only claims the discovered interface. Therfore make failures
on claiming interface 0 non-fatal (LP: #936155).

* debian/patches/30_cupshelpers-Fix-XML-parsing-crash-on-invalid-UTF-8.patch:
  cupshelpers: Filter encoding problems from XML answers of OpenPrinting's
  web API to prevent crashes of the XML parser. This avoids failure of
  automatic driver download when the manufacturer's license and description
  texts contain wrong characters.
* debian/patches/23_applet-also-do-not-autostart-on-unity-and-gnome.patch:
  Do not auto-start the applet if the desktop is Unity or GNOME.
* debian/system-config-printer-gnome.install, debian/control: Revert
  removal of the system-config-printer applet. For non-Uniti/GNOME desktops
  the applet can still be useful.

* debian/system-config-printer-gnome.install: Do not install applet.py.
* debian/control: As we do not install the applet, do not mention it in
  the package descriptions.
* debian/patches/80-add-show-jobs-cmdline-arg.patch: Add "--show-jobs
  <printer>" command line option to system-config-printer. This opens
  the job viewer for the specified print queue.
