Why "+squeeze0"? +squeeze1 is more conventional.

I'm assuming the debug code isn't likely to be used that often? The
upstream bug (<URL:https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/809904>)
implies that they were looking at replacing the code with a mkstemp()
call, rather than removing it. If it's basically unused then patching
it out should be okay though.
fwiw, my MUA failed to verify the signature on your mail.
