Control: tags 913346 + pending Dear maintainer,
I've prepared an NMU for sane-backends (versioned as 1.0.27-3.2) and uploaded it to DELAYED/15. Please feel free to tell me if I should delay it longer. I know this might be seen as a regression, but keeping the package around for a while doesn't hurt wrt the current status quo (people using testing not able to upgrade libsane1, people using derivatives not able to use the debian package and so on). This will end up in bin-new queue Regards. Gianfranco
