It should be the responsibility of the end user to make sure to buy
hardware from a Linux-friendly manufacturer who is willing to update
their drivers accordingly.
Do you really want that Debian keeps down it's drive to improve quality
and reliability because Ubuntu user X bought a 50 Euro scanner from
some random Chinese manufacturer who cannot be bothered to update their
drivers every once a while?
I don't.
If we expect to make Debian and GNU/Linux universal we have to keep that
people don't want to buy a new hardware to switch from Windows or Mac to
GNU/Linux.
The regular user should be the target, not the hacker. Sane 1.0.27
should work as 1.0.25 for the end user without any configuration changes
because if we respect x.y.z versioning this is a minor release.
Best regards.
