I don't know, but then I do it differently.  I did the install a long
time ago.  Since then, I've been doing updates.  The second last
update was from hipster-20180701 to hipster-20200802 .  With that one,
the dialogue box within firefox did not show my CUPS queue.  Before
that, it had `print to lpr', which I now understand got removed.  My
last update was from hipster-20200802 to hipster-20201012 .  Nothing
changed in firefox with that one.  Since I installed those two
packages, the print dialogue showed my CUPS printer and pre-selected
it.

In any case, the update did not install those packages.
