6 cups is definitely needed at compile-time

12 From what I can see in cups-1.3.11, pdftops is purely a runtime
13 dependency. The configure flags enable code that doesn't need pdftops
14 at compile-time. Infact, poppler[utils] is in pure RDEPEND to reflect
15 that. So in total, I think it can be moved to PDEPEND.

17 This change should be made to all ebuilds; not just the latest ~arch
18 since people do install stable ;p
