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.
