Bug#581511: system-config-printer-kde

I'm the upstream author of system-config-printer-kde

system-config-printer-kde needs cupshelpers modules, config.py,
smburi.py and debug.py.  

cupshelpers modules are currently in your python-cupsutils package
The other modules are included in python-cupsutils in Debian
unstable's packages which does not match how upstream installs the files and
means system-config-printer-kde needs to be patched.

I recommend splitting config.py, smburi.py and debug.py into a
system-config-printer-common package so that system-config-printer-kde
does not have to depend on the whole system-config-printer.

In Ubuntu we also include testpage-a4.ps and testpage-letter.ps in
system-config-printer-common, I'm not sure if Debian ships equivalent
files.

Other modules which might get used by system-config-printer-kde in
future and so would be candidates for system-config-printer-common are
check-device-ids.py, dnssdresolve.py, firewall.py, installdriver.py,
installpackage.py, monitor.py, PhysicalDevice.py, ppdippstr.py,
probe_printer.py, SearchCriterion.py, statereason.py, XmlHelper.py.
