I perhaps wouldn't be so strict on this. When a dependency is
"obvious", it is quite OK to have a "depends on". In this case, I
believe the user who wants python-pycups will realize that CUPS is
needed in the system, so I find a "depends on" dependency to be quite
OK in this case. Using "depends on" has the advantage that we don't
have to replicate the "depends on" from BR2_PACKAGE_CUPS.
