Does libdnssd-based upstream CUPS do automatic service discovery by the 
scheduler, meaning that your Avahi patch is not yet complete in this 
sense or is automatic service discovery by the scheduler even not 
implemented at all upstream, meaning that by removing IPP browsing one 
of the most important features of CUPS gets lost?
