Comment 172 for bug 25966

Saïvann and Jeremy, thank you very much for doing this awkward task of packaging these drivers. Debianizing the Brother drivers in a distribution-friendly way was much more complex than debianizing a typical free software application. So you have learned already a lot to get MOTU already with these packages. I liked very much sponsoring the upload of your packages and supporting your effort.

The original drivers are really not well designed for being shipped with a distro, and this made me adding several points to my driver design guidelines at OpenPrinting:

Saïvann, Jeremy, would you also like to make distribution-independent, LSB-based packages of the Brother drivers? These would be uploaded onto the OpenPrinting server and then arbitrary (LSB-compliant) distros can automatically download them when a Brother printer gets discovered.
