I recommend to file a bugreport, which also means you get feedback from those maintaining the package. I recommend to file the issue against the package where you experienced it - hplip - it is easy later reassign as needed. It is nice, however, that you mention in the bugreport how you've been suggested this possible relationship with CUPS. > If yes, that would be a pity, since hplip has some features I find > useful, though not essential.

Share your concerns with those who can actually act on this: The Debian maintainers of the package you are concerned about: I.e. consider file a (low severity) bugreport against cups raising your concerns about weakened user experience. Phrase is constructively and friendly - if it is perceived as "whining" (regardless of whether that was your intention) then there's obviously a higher risk that the bugreport will be dismissed without proper reflection.
