I see you've already opened a bug for this on Debian (Debian Bug report logs
- #459362):
Did you come across any workaround?
IIRC (it wasn't on my own box and I currently don't have access to it) I either fall back to an older version of cupsys or the real reason for failure was caused by another problem in the cups config.
First of all: you do have "DefaultAuthType Basic" inside /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, right? Also make sure you didn't activate the checkbox 'Use Kerberos authentication' on http://localhost:631/admin/
Read http://localhost:631/help/kerberos.html?TOPIC=Getting+Started for a little bit information about cups with kerberos.
If you checked all of the above and your setup still doesn't work I suggest trying an older version of cupsys - grab it from:
BTW: If you don't do that already: consider using mercurial[1] or gitkeeper[2] for maintaining /etc under version control, it really helps in restoring old, working conffiles. :)
