Severe violation > of POLA. I think it makes things even more confusing since CUPS printing will not work with just cups-base. And, when you compile with CUPS printing, Samba tries to enable it by default. Therefore, without cups-lpr, printing will be broken in CUPS by default if you just include cups-base...and do so unconditionally.
