I was browsing my /var/log files this morning, and happened to tail messages.
I found these:

The version of cups provided in Lenny[1] uses a compatibility layer of
Avahi (package libavahi-compat-libdnssd1).
Therefore, Avahi is complaining/suggesting the developer [of cups], to
use avahi libraries directly.

FYI, this has been fixed in the version of cups in Testing (it now uses
Avahi's native library: "libavahi-client3")

This message is intended to the developers (i.e it isn't intended to you
[the system admin]).
You can safely ignore this message.

great ! Just good to know there isn't anything I did wrong. I can safely
ignore it, until I get to testing:)
I was thinking of upgrading to testing anyway.

(Usual disclaimer)

Using Debian stable is the right thing to do.
