[Pkg-hpijs-devel] Bug#596467: Please make libsane-hpaio recommend hplip (not depend on)

[Till Kamppeter]

The setting of the PPD paths via the post-install script of hplip is no 
problem. libsane-hpaio does not need these paths, so nothing breaks if 
hplip gets installed after libsane-hpaio. In addition, hplip sets the 
paths to places where itself provides The PPD files. We do not expect 
any users to change them to personal preferences.
