Ah... I found because /var/lib/alternatives/print says:
------------------------------------------------------
auto
/usr/bin/lpr
print-cancel
<snip>

/usr/bin/lpr.cups
40 cups <- THIS LINE
/usr/bin/cancel.cups
<snip>
--------------------------------------------------

And....
--------------------------------------------------
[tasaka1 at localhost ~]$ rpm -q --scripts cups
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
<snip>
/usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/bin/lpr print /usr/bin/lpr.cups 40 \
         --slave /usr/bin/lp print-lp /usr/bin/lp.cups \
<snip>
         --initscript cups
--------------------------------------------------
and --initscripts option is "a Red Hat Linux specific option"
according to "man alternatives"

Then a patch is needed 
* to treat initscripts options correctly
* or to ignore initscripts options for now. Then a documentation
  (like README.fedora) which explains that this package ignores
  initscripts option currently.
