Uploaded cups-filters 1.8.3-2ubuntu2 with Conflicts:/Replaces:/Provides: foomatic-filters-beh in its debian/control file. With this package installed, explicitly installing foomatic-filters-beh will ask the user to remove cups-filters and all its dependencies. This prevents automatic bug reports as this one, but an unexperienced user could remove most of the system's printing stack.

Best would be the removal of foomatic-filters from Xenial.

Or is there a way of a versioned Provides: which makes the request for installing foomatic-filters-beh answered with "everything is up-to-date"?
