But I do :)
LPRng greatly proftis from the "filter_stderr_to_status_file" setting in
lpd.conf.
Unfortunately, the "log" file isn't actually the place where debugging output
is sent to, but rather the "status" file in the spool directory; the spooler
"log" will only contain internal LPRng logging information.

lpd must die! (And I'm just quoting the linuxprinting.org guys...)

I'm sure as long as some Germans are on this list, humor will never have
the slightest chance... :D

But seriously: debian is considered to be a distribution where the
maintainers have actually switched on their brains before releasing stuff...
