Is requirement python-pip really necessary for pip provider?

I am not sure about this, but for me this dependency caused nothing but problems on debian 8.
May be I'm doing something wrong.
I have pip already installed, but I was forced to add python-pip package to my manifest. And puppet 4.4 could not install it:(. So I just commented out this requirement, and everything worked.

@ov7a it's definitely required that the pip command is available, but this module was first developed for Debian... I wanna say 5 or 6. So it's possible the package name has changed, or something similar. PRs to fix this issue are welcome.

Package name is the same. Puppet is the one who complains about it. I'll try to do more research on this issue when I have spare time.
