That's not really "deprecation" though. That'd be equivalent to
GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED in glib, or GDK_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED in GTK+,
to avoid using functions which are only available in versions newer
than what we're targeting.

In this case, it would mean we either need to bump the required version
of CUPS, or use older functions which were available in 1.6.
