Hello, I had a look to the way this problem is solved for Ubuntu in Launchpad (make libsane-hpaio depend on hplip) and I believe this solution will prevent users from installing libsane-hpaio in stand-alone (without hplip), as publicized in the package description: "This package is useful for a minimal footprint headless scanning solution"
I may have seen only a limited part of the problem, but from my own experience, it seems that the only thing missing is a /etc/hp/hplip.conf containing a stanza with the path to the data directory. Like this: [dirs] home=/usr/share/hplip And of course, a little explanation in a README.Debian. Making libsane-hpaio recommend hplip will prevent problems for most users, and will allow minimal installation (I can use my psc1510 with only hpijs and libsane-hpaio), even if creating the /etc/hp/hplip.conf like above solves only a part of the problem encountered by the original poster.
