Summary:                    cups binaries conflict with system binary names
Description: 
I have only just noticed that "cupsclient" provides binaries that have a
namespace conflict with system level ones! :( specifically, lp, lpstat,
lpq, lpr, lprm, cancel

I dont recall this ever being brought up on the maintainers list, or
discussed previously. "cups" has always been just a black hole to me. Until
I decided to try using it just now :(
Please give some thought to this problem.

For the sake of completeness, we already have instructions on how to
replace Sun delivered Cups with ours. That's what we do internally and at
customer sites.

You could integrate it into a README.CSW and point to it via a postmessage
to guide users. Or point to the Wiki page right away. IMHO a user-site
configuration issue similar to other packages like e.g. our MTAs which
deliver mailq and sendmail. Executable name clashes there too by the way.
