There are non-Debian distributions which allow you to do that; alternatively 
you can recompile src:hplip yourself. Debian does not support avoiding 
'*systemd*' packages, as much as it doesn't support avoiding '*selinux*' 
packages for instance.

Bugs of whishlist severity and tagged wontfix are useless. I am not going to 
remove policykit support from Debian's hplip, sorry.
