Great! Thanks a lot for your testing.

I've contacted the submitter of #525714 but didn't get a reply so far.
Since the upload is targeted at experimental we can sort that out before
uploading to unstable. I'll file a bug against system-config-printer-kde
once the upload hit experimental.

Looking at the system-config-printer-kde source it seems the only parts
that are needed are from cusphelpers so this might turn out as a non
issue after all.
