I had a look. There's one annoying issue with the package install in
that it copies an existing /usr/pkg/etc/ifhp.conf to
/usr/pkg/etc/ifhp.conf.YYYY_MMM_DD_HH:MM:SS which is quite annoying.
The urgency for this package to me has been significantly reduced
after someone (Michael Richardson?) reminded me about the lp=port@host
syntax in our printcap(5), so instead of
	rm=jetdirect-host
I now use:
	lp=9100@jetdirect-host
Thanks for making the effort in creating the package in any case.
Luke.
