Set the maintainer to the Debathena Project when debathenifying lprng.
20:59 Changeset [24211] by broder
Add "set_debathena_maintainer" frob to the debathenificator. (Trac: #456) set_debathena_maintainer adds the current Maintainer to XSBC-Original-Maintainer (creating the latter if it doesn't already exist), and sets the Maintainer to the Debathena Project.

Correctly transform recent versions of lprng, which have been converted to debhelper 7. (Trac: #446) Also be sure to error out if the transformation ever fails.

14:47 Changeset [24206] by geofft
Inspired by r24205, tweak the version check in various postinsts. The version check should take into account Debathena's ~distro version tags. Like the previous commit, this is for reference and does not necessitate a rebuild, if for no other reason than we've advanced well past the version in question.
12:10 Changeset [24205] by broder
Correct the DEB_UNDIVERT_VERSION versions in reactivate and printing-config. Without the trailing tilde, upgrading *from* the version where DEB_UNDIVERT_VERSION was set will trigger a single, harmless OMINOUS WARNING because of Debathena's ~distro version tags. These changes are just there for the sake of future reference, and do not need a package rebuild, so there's no changelog entry for either.
10:36 Changeset [24204] by broder
In printing-config: * Add missing dependency on python-cups.
02:59 Changeset [24203] by geofft
Fix a typo in r24202 that caused a FTBFS.
02:27 Changeset [24202] by geofft
In printing-config: * Stop wrapping lpc, since it's only useful with LPRng, and cancel, since it's not useful with LPRng (it's treated exactly the same as LPRng's lprm).
01:51 Changeset [24201] by geofft
In printing-config: * When doing operations against CUPS printers, act against the realserver because load balancing otherwise gets in your way. * Remove /etc/debathena-printing.conf and revert 1.4 and much of 1.7. Use the printing subsystem that the print queue lives on; attempt to convert LPRng options to CUPS ones for CUPS printers, but not vice versa. * Rephrase man pages to stop talking about Athena 10, and mention cups-lp(1)'s documentation of the -o options to lpr. * Fix a bug relating to lp using -d for its destination, not -P.
