* debian/local/pyppd/, debian/rules: Compressed all the physical PPD files
for the PostScript printers of the hplip-data package into an archiv file
reducing the disk space occupation by a factor of 10, freeing several tens
of megabytes on the Ubuntu Desktop CDs (or on any live CD based on Debian
or a derivative distribution). The archives are self-extracting and located
in /usr/lib/cups/driver/, so that CUPS automatically extracts the PPD
files. Thank you very much to Vitor Baptista who developed this great PPD
compressor in the Google Summer of Code 2010 (LP: #493282).
* debian/hplip.postinst: Updated auto updater for the PPDs of the already
existing print queues to work with the new PPD archive.
* debian/control: Changed versioned conflict of hpijs-ppds with
foomatic-filters-ppds. Now it conflicts for versions bigger than
20000101 (real foomatic-filters-ppds packages) and not with
foomatic-filters-ppds with a small version number (transitional packages).
