Check if our CUPS systemd service/socket tweaks still work and are still needed

In config/chroot_local-hooks/52-update-rc.d we disable cups.service and enable cups.socket. There’s a comment that explains why but last time we checked this was in the Tails 2.x era.

Let’s:

  • Verify that “cupsd is started during the initialization of the GNOME session, which is fine: by then, the persistent /etc/cups has been mounted” is still true on Buster.
  • Check whether we still need to do this at all, i.e. whether CUPS in Buster still enables the service, and not the socket activated one, by default.
