Bug#664258: hplip: Hplip Deb: very ugly packaging and dependencies
Package: hplip
Severity: normal
Hi,
Very simply by hte following dirty work of deb maker, I am selling over EBAY my HP office. Really.
HPLIP is really a bunch of mess. That's definitely the worst package to be seen for debian. Why not to install X11 and also GNOME + KDE, and also firefox? - Yeah, you forgot firefox (iceweasel) in the dependencies ;) lol
Seriously., for people that are using HP printers, on a server, please make it simple or split HPLIP into :
HPLIP-DRIVER with only the driver for printing + sane
HPLIP-SERVER for servers (with only the drivers + few server dep)
HPLIP for common users and novices
That would greatly improve the package, otherwise (it kinda s****)
Anyhow I am moving away from HP, since it provides messy boxes with unecessary packages.
We have other better printing offers.
Regards
Thanks anyhow
