[Pkg-hpijs-devel] Bug#594823: please provide documentation about group lp for libsane-hpaio

Hi hplip maintainers--

http://bugs.debian.org/594823 asks for documentation to suggest adding
users to the "lp" group if they want to scan on HP multi-function scanners.

Putting this information in the NEWS file for the hplip package is
insufficient, because some people may install only libsane-hpaio without
the hplip package.

On such installations, there is no clear indication that membership in
the 'lp' group is needed to scan from these devices.
/usr/share/doc/libsane-hpaio/README.Debian would be a reasonable place
for this note.

Thanks for maintaining hplip in debian!
