No, it is reading the data file (dNNNNN-MMM) which *is* supposed to
be readable by "lp".  The change you proposed affects the job control
file (cNNNNN) which *is not* being read by pstops...

The "cNNNNN" file is the one you need to access using the IPP
Get-Job-Attributes request; the filters should always be able to
read the job data files since they need to convert them to something
printable.

Check the other patches that Debian applies to make sure the permissions
are not getting reset.  Also check the permissions of /var/spool/cups
and its parents...
