They are not broken, they're just not suitable. It's like stabilizing gcc-2.95
now, even when it won't work with some recent KDE/boost.
hal-cups-utils is not a problem
system-config-printer-common-1.1.13 is as it's being used by maybe
incompatible now system-config-printer-kde from testing arch (I've raised
those deps now), besides I wanted to wait for polkit-1 with this package
(otherwise dbus "newprinternotifications" can be received only by root or
require tweaking dbus conf to work out of the box . That's why kde-
base/system-config-printer-kde and kde-base/printer-applet were intentionally
left out from KDE-4.3.3 stabilization list.
