Title:
  Drop system-config-printer-gnome package

Status in Ubuntu GNOME:
  Triaged
Status in system-config-printer package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I don't think the system-config-printer-gnome split makes sense any
  more and it would be nice to get this package closer in sync with
  Debian. In other words, let's drop system-config-printer-gnome and
  move most of its contents back to system-config-printer but a few
  files will end up in system-config-printer-common.

  The last explicit merge was almost a decade ago:
  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/0.7.70-1ubuntu1 )

  The split was done in 2008 for KDE's benefit:
  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/0.7.78+svn1799-0ubuntu2

  - system-config-printer-kde no longer exists (it appears to have been
  part of the kdeadmin source package which was removed a few years ago)

  - Kubuntu only ships system-config-printer-udev so they aren't affected now
  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/kubuntu/daily-live/current/zesty-desktop-amd64.manifest

  - Ubuntu GNOME does not need the files shipped in system-config-
  printer since GNOME has its own integrated Printers Settings panel.

  In Ubuntu 16.10 I attempted to follow Debian's gnome-control-center
  packaging and depend on system-config-printer-common only, but it
  broke the Printers panel since Ubuntu's packaging moved the dbus
  service to the system-config-printer-gnome package (See bug 1496860 &
  bug 1623150 & bug 1637466 ).
