Bug#891810: hplip not installable without systemd
>> My systems are configured to avoid installing systemd. This makes it

I understad that. However, I try, to the extent possible, to avoid
installing software that I don't understand on the machines that
I maintain, and I do not understand systemd.
I find it surprising that I cannot install the hpps binary without
installing systemd.

I most respectfully disagree -- I should be able to install the hpps
binary without installing systemd.
Please reopen this bug.
