Should we put /etc/cups inside the hplip store directory or what should we do with it? Generally, yes. If it later needs to be merged into a common /etc/cups directory for some reason, then cups-service needs to create a union directory based on the etc/cups packages in a set of packages. See polkit-service for an example. Andy
