They are relevant for users who own some models of HP printers, and having the package installed for everyone is really too much. You see a fax icon in your menu and think “cool, I can send a fax”. And then you can’t. Not forgetting that installs two tools to configure the printer, one of which doesn’t work at all if you don’t have the correct printer. What’s next? Install all Epson, Canon, Xerox and Ricoh specific tools? Other operating systems don’t install HP tools if you don’t have a HP printer, and that’s the way to go. Would it be possible to install the package only if such a printer is found? Cheers, -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.
