Good question. I'll admit I was put off my the (exhausting) 'systemd'
argument, and hadn't checked what exactly was done with PolicyKit.
My reading is that PolicyKit is used to grant privilege to run `hp-plugin` for
plugin download, thereby avoiding the need for sudo.
So no, definitely not _required_.

We don't agree on what constitutes "exotic" use of hplip. Oh well… I suspect a
Recommends is good enough. I'll upload that demotion later today. Just don't
expect that demotion to withhold too many "I can't run hp-plugin" bugs. :)
