-  The old `lpr -Pprintername@hostname $file` syntax will no longer work.

 - include mixer and channel in debconf, or even better, move it to
   gutenbach-remctl and implement debconf in that package

-- this should really not conflict with pulse (the biggest problem at the moment is that
-  pulse will spew a bunch of errors like "Home directory /var/spool/cups/tmp not ours." I
-  can't figure out how to get rid of them, but they're really annoying.  As long as pulse

 - CUPS issues
-    * the CUPS daemon processes do not inherit groups from the lp user (so, for example,
-      even if we add 'lp' to 'audio', the process will not be running in group 'audio').
-      For the time being, I've set the CUPS daemon to always run under group 'audio',
-      but there should really be a better solution.
-    * debathena printer configuration defaults to using ipp, e.g.:
-       jhamrick@lemon-meringue:~$ lpstat -v sipbmp3 
-       device for sipbmp3: ipp://zsr.mit.edu:631/printers/sipbmp3
-     so you can't just do `lpq -Psipbmp3`, you have to use `lpq -Psipbmp3 -hzsr` or
-     something similar.  Same thing goes with lprm.  It is interesting that this is
-     only the case with lpq and lprm, though, and lpr Just Works.  This shouldn't be
-     an issue on non-debathena machines.
 
-- Create wrapper scripts for queuing/dequeuing jobs?  Making it easier to use across
-  multiple platforms, regardless of debathena/normal linux/etc?

+      should really be a better solution.
+
+    * when the Purge-Jobs command is sent, the jobs are removed, but
+      the current mplayer instance continues playing.  This
+      unfortunately leads to jobs being played over each other when
+      the CUPS server restarts
+
+- Making it easier to use across multiple platforms, regardless of
+  debathena/normal linux/etc?
+
+- Gutenbach should not depend on Debathena -- ideally,
+  gutenbach-server should be debathena free, and then if people want
+  to use zephyr, etc., they can install an additional gutenbach-zephyr
+  package or something
+
+- add regex support to the client scripts, so you can do something
+  like `gbr sipbmp3 *.mp3` and have it send separate jobs to the queue
+
+- fix the web interface
+
+- fix the youtube feature.  Additionally, make it possible to play
+  movies!
