maya ab3fa2fc0c Split cups-base in two: libcups and the printer daemon.
The intention with this change is to make it easier to enable CUPS support
by default in places, without requiring the daemon (which might conflict
with other printing setups).

Bump cups-base PKGREVISION and make it depend on libcups.

The Common UNIX Printing System provides a portable printing layer for
UNIX operating systems. It has been developed by Easy Software Products
to promote a standard printing solution for all UNIX vendors and users.
CUPS provides the System V and Berkeley command-line interfaces.
CUPS uses the Internet Printing Protocol (IETF-IPP) as the basis for
managing print jobs and queues. The Line Printer Daemon (LPD, RFC1179)
and AppSocket protocols are also supported with reduced functionality.
CUPS adds network printer browsing and PostScript Printer Description
("PPD")-based printing options to support real world applications under
UNIX.
This package consists of the library used for talking to CUPS.
