Ignoring the Qt5 angle, compiling the latest hplip from source is useful anyway because the version packaged in Debian is rather old and missing support for quite a few printers.

OK, I don’t know why hp-check -r gets it wrong, but the packages are built with pyqt5 — you can see that in /etc/hp/hplip.conf. Debian packages can’t depend on packages that no longer exist in the distribution.
