Thanks Eddy,

The hpoj package is pretty much obsoleted by the hplip package. All upstream 
work shifted to hplip a number of years ago.

As a consequence there hasn't been much maintenance to keep the package upto 
date with current policy.

As it is non-trivial to switch to debconf this work hasn't and probably won't 
be undertaken.

I suspect that etch will be hpoj's last release as it's obsolete and not 
compliant with policy.

That said hpoj is still working for me and a couple of hundred others 
(according to popcon).

Mark
