pitti, I have implemented this now and committed it to the Debian BZR repository of HPLIP, but unfortunately it does not reduce the size a lot. There are 783 PPD files but only 65 duplicates. So the expected reduction is less then 10 %.
A general check of /usr/share/ppd with
fdupes -r /usr/share/ppd
shows that there are no other packages with duplicate PPDs.
