Comment:
I'd prefer to see the ppds consolidated into a single package.  Having
recently installed an HP driver that required hplip drivers, it's not a
very straightforward process to figure out which package I need, and the
CUPS web interface also suffers from the problem of separate HP/HP
(HPLIP) "makes", which confuses administration as well.  I recall a
similar issue in Windows where the add printer dialog had both HP and
Hewlett Packard listed as manufacturers.
