Would conditional Requires work here?
Requires: (python3-scikit-image if foo)
Obviously, you replace foo with some actually common package that would naturally require hplip to have scanning working...
... and I was about to say that I had spent two hours searching for package "foo" :-) No, unfortunately, I can't think of such a package (we already have hplip-sane, but that's the SANE _backend_, whereas we are talking about front-end functionality here). hplip is pretty much a leaf package. And this feature is about special post-processing functionality, which would normally be done manually. Some users will find it handy; many probably won't care. As I said, we could create a hplip-hpscan sub-package, which only those users would install that actually use "hp-scan" or "hp-uiscan". Martin
