There is nothing I can do about that.  See
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=350113
for a way to revert the breakage (in the last post of the bug log).

I am leaving the bug open in hplip instead of closing it to avoid more
duplicated reports.  But I have set the libXft2 bug as a blocker for it.

I am cc'ing the libxft bug just for completeness, and to futher link the two
together.
