Here the output is checked for whether the option settings are inserted 
in the PostScript data stream with perl and a complex regular expression 
(shown). Is it perhaps possible that the perl behavior changed recently?

Here indeed CUPS is not involved. One sees in the log that foomatic-rip 
was called directly. Intention of this test is to see whether page 
overrides work. FoomaticOption1=Choice3 should be set only for pages 1, 
2, and 4. The rest of the pages should have the default setting of 
FoomaticOption1.

As one can see in this test script only test 13 uses CUPS. All the 
others call foomatic-rip directly. So both failures have happened 
without influence of CUPS.
