It was done this way by historical accident I think. However, it
works now so there seems little point in changing it in that case.
Is there a reason why the trigger is done that way round -- in the
_cups_ specfile rather than the samba one? Or why we can't ship the
extra CUPS backend in a separate 'bluez-utils-cups' RPM which puts
it directly into /usr/lib/cups/backend/ instead of making the
symlink in a trigger script? Or any of the other possibilities?
That certainly sounds like the best thing to do for new packages. It
would be best to keep the knowledge of that backend in the package
that provides it.
