Bug Description

Binary package hint: cups

Some files, like /etc/cups/printers.conf* and /etc/cups/subscriptions.conf*, store some information that is dynamic (updated regularly by cupsd). I think those files belongs to /var/lib/cups or something, since /etc is supposed to be "static" (for instance, I use etckeeper to track /etc changes, and is very annoying to see how some configurations files changes when I don't do anything to change them).
