I am terribly sorry. I am a bit busy and thought this was another
Fabien, one that I support, asking me a question.

I shall spank myself for not reading the subject and email properly.

A backport request will be a good idea (though I do run feisty now,
and this problem is no longer an issue for me).

In the meantime, while you wait for the fix, disable gnome-cups-icon:
$ sudo mv /usr/bin/gnome-cups-icon{,.broken}

cheers,
Jan
