I believe the direction of this bug should be changed slightly.  Debian
shouldn't advise users to use non-free plug-ins at all.  HPLIP should be
modified so it doesn't do that.

Stefano Zacchiroli is trying to get Debian on the GNU Projcet's endorsed
distro list[1].  A program recommending non-free software to the user
compromises this.  Especially if, not only does it recommend the
proprietary software, it actively goes out and downloads and installs
said non-free software.
