Do we really want to install the foo2* packages by default? Isn't there
some kind of automatic printer driver download feature these days that
maybe can be used?

I for one prefer if things "just work" which way more often is the case
if packages and driver get installed by default, even if they are unused.
That option (with the current packaging style) doesn't make sense
everywhere (fglrx and nvidia for example), but in the foo2* case it
doesn't do much harm besides wasting a bit of bandwith and disk space,
so I'd say it makes sense to install foo2* by default.

Not that I'm aware of.

system-config-printer has PackageKit integration these days.
That said, last I checked all that PackageKit integration into programs
didn't work with KPackageKit, only gnome-packagekit (KPackageKit doesn't
implement the D-Bus interface which is used for this), and I haven't
checked whether the KDE printer applet (which is based on the
system-config-printer libraries) implements its part either. So at this
point it's probably a GNOME-only feature.
