[cups.bugs] [MOD] STR #3170: "*cupsBackSide:" not implemented in CUPS 1.3.x

I do not want to change the flip_duplex of ppd_file_t. What I want to 
tell is that libcups does not support the new cupsBackSide keyword. Now 
to add support to the "cups" output device I would have to reparse the 
whole PPD as the CUPS library does not support the keyword.

Or should I better recommend to the HPLIP developers (and other driver 
developers) to use the deprecated cupsFlipDuplex?
