That's good news.

As I said, I couldn't test, I relied on what was said on k-c-d (see the 
post from Chusslove Illich).

That was written in the README file:

hal-cups-utils and system-config-printer like to install to
/usr/share/system-config-printer, if you put it elsewhere change the
SYSTEM_CONFIG_PRINTER_DIR variable in printer-applet.py

So I believed it. Or...is system-config-printer another dependency? 
Because in that case "It is a Qt port of system-config-printer by Tim 
Waugh from Red Hat." is misleading.

I doubt refusing such apps in core modules will have this effect.
