I've always disliked how on Debian, usually being rather conservative, cups-browsed gets pulled in by default if you install cups. I think "no install recommends" fixes that, but iirc some add-ons like that hplip driver pull it in again. In my home setup I just disabled the service, but it's rather annoying how more and more software spirals out of scope and makes components that could be optional a requirement. Very related is avahi-daemon. Take a desktop Debian/Ubuntu and try to uninstall it; there's a good chance it's going to remove a couple other software where you wonder why avahi would be a hard dependency.
