Hi Michael

To the best of my knowledge, not all printers need this firmware. Thus, the 
package is operational without additional firmware. Unfortunately, some 
printers need firmware, that is right. Please feel free to ask hp or the 
other printer vendors to somehow free their firmware :)
We have done everything we could to keep the package in main and provide a way 
for users to manually and easily add additional things, if they want and 
need. The package however still provides functionality without these things 
and I do not see a dependency against a non-free package. Therefore, I 
lowered the severity to make sure that the package still migrates to testing 
and added the wontifx tag.

Cheers
Steffen
