[cups] Using the new IPP Everywhere PPD generator with cups-browsed

Hi,
I am testing the new PPD generator for IPP Everywhere printers from
https://www.cups.org/str.php?L4258
by having backported the patches to CUPS 2.0.2. I have no problem to
create a queue with the lpadmin command with "-m everywhere" only with a
small quirk:
https://www.cups.org/str.php?L4579
Already for some time cups-browsed (from cups-filters) is capable of
discovering IPP Everywhere printers and auto-creating queues for them
(with "CreateIPPPrinterQueues Yes" in /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf) but
these queues are set up with System V interface scripts due to lack of a
PPD generator.
Now I want to use the new generator provided by CUPS, but have no idea
yet how to do this. cups-browsed speaks IPP to CUPS to create queues.
How should I proceed.
Naturally I will do a fallback to the interface scripts on failure, so
that cups-browsed keeps working with older CUPS versions.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Till
