This package dates to old time (hence the -cvs suffix, which indicates very 
young period in formely-known-openbeos haiku development ;) ) when the printing 
kit was mainly built as replacement for BeOS systems. I guess the package was 
modeled after the other now-defunct *-cvs packages were the server/preflet 
where not installed automatically in place, the adventurous downloader(s) were 
supposed to do that themselves, taking the responsability in the process.
  
Anyway, today, this package doesn't make that sense anymore, even if the 
printing kit could still be used as a drop-in replacement for BeOS. If 
maintaining such package still make sense, at least we should rename the suffix 
into "-svn" (r better, -r<revision> !). 

Bye,
  Philippe.
