There are instructions regarding the > CUPS update. :) Regarding this, I have noticed that the printers.conf file in the package was empty (I am like 90% sure) Was it really needed to be included in that package? The install script could touch one... And I also think that it is not feasible to have to take a look at the frontpage if you upgrade like once a month, but the package creator can include a message in the PKGBUILD itself, so it doesn't seem to be a pacman flaw.
