Starting with Fedora Core 6 this whole issue should be much easier to
deal with.  Updated printing packages no longer cause any configuration
changes or updates, with the minor exception of gutenprint-cups which
runs its own cups-genppdupdate.5.0 script to apply any needed updates to
existing PPDs.

Updates breaking CUPS configurations has, however, been a problem up to
and including Fedora Core 5. :-(
