[cups.general] PPD directory missing

[Till Kamppeter]

This is not a bug, this is a feature.

These directories are defined as PPD locations by the LSB (3.2 or 
newer). So distribution-independent printer driver packages based on the 
LSB can provide PPDs in these directories (the package manager will 
create the directories in such a case). CUPS will find the PPDs there. 
If the directories do not exist, this s no problem for CUPS. It gives 
the warning message and goes on searching the other locations.
