Printers not showing up is very confusing and definitely worth the 9 MiB it would take to prevent.
That being said, future discoverability would be aided by being able to do something like `paccheck --opt-depends --recursive --quiet application_not_showing_printers`.
It's a pity pacman itself doesn't have a way to recursively show uninstalled optdepends.
Given how many requests this issue has generated, merging should have been considered *much* sooner.
Undoing the split is fine to me.
