I uploaded the bogus password fix, thanks Soren!

 gnome-cups-manager (0.31-1.1ubuntu11) dapper; urgency=low
 .
   * Cleaned up the 'foo.diff and foo.diff.patch' mess.
   * Add debian/patches/password_field_garbage.patch:
     - When editing SMB connection attributes, do not set the password input
       field to the value of 'resource' (which is 'smb'). We do not get the
       password in cleartext, so just leave the field blank.
     - Thanks to Soren Hansen for debugging this.
     - See LP#8125 (this bug is mentioned there as a side discussion).

However, the cupsys change is more intrusive, and exposing samba user
names is not something I'd like to introduce at this stage of the
release. At least g-c-m works in a sensible way now, both username and
password are empty, but can be used for changing the credentials.
