The PPDs are not guaranteed to be the same.  And, frankly,
linuxprinting.org-ppds should remove the hpijs and hplip ppds from itself,
and let hpijs/hplip ship those.   The PPDs shipped by the hplip/hpijs
package are known to work well with that particular version of hplip/hpijs,
and yes, there have been incompatible changes before.

I don't know if the new packages do it yet, but the old hplip package did
some post-processing on the PPDs and normalized their names, too.
