hplip is in seeds (https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu-seeds) but is included in brackets so it is a recommends and not a dependency of ubuntu-meta packages.
It looks like hplip is a recommends since the edgy release.
I believe this is the correct behaviour because it should be possible to remove the hplip package if people don't need it without removing ubuntu-desktop.
The question is if recommends of ubuntu-meta packages are installed by default by the ubuntu installer ubiquity (desktop cd) and/or debian-installer (alternate cd)?

> hplip is not installed by default
TDB,
Did you use the desktop or alternate cd?
Is this reproduceable on a fresh installation of gutsy?
