That's kind of a naive response.

CUPS (as any lpd replacement would) installs an lp, lpr, lprm, and
lpq. Using the system ones won't have the desired effect.

I agree, though, that we have mailwrapper because we have Postfix in
the base system. Until such time as we want to try a transition to a
different default lpd (which I'd be in favor of, and in fact I like
CUPS[1]) it doesn't make sense to have a similar wrapper. However,
having the pkgsrc CUPS install point out that you need to at least
sym link to the usual lp utilities would be a Good Idea (and worth a
PR).

[1] The chances that I want Postscript output as plain text out of
a *printer* (think about how much paper that is...) are maybe 1 in
1000, and I can go to some special effort to make it happen; anyway,
we *already* grovel file contents for things like file(1)... do
you disapprove of that? Can you show an example of when CUPS got
this wrong in the real world?
