You need a newer version of libsane than debian testing. Probably packages "libsane-common" and friends. The xsane version can stay the same. But a quick look tells me that Ubuntu repos won't be useful for you because they also don't have the patch you need. Maybe your best bet is to push Debian maintainers to include the patch I mentioned. They should have it anyhow. Fedora already includes it.
