Iirc the issue was (is?) that in-order for cups to work correctly with
postscript, it had to be built with espgs on the system, but in-order for
espgs to work correctly with cups, it had to get built with cups on the
system. So to get a working setup you had to build espgs, then cups, then
espgs again. (This is listed in the cups long description and I've never
been able to make cups work with postscript unless I follow it). The
idea behind a merged spell is to do the above gymnastics internally.

Maybe thats no-longer the case though.
