Package: sane-utils
Version: 1.0.19~cvs20071213-5
Severity: wishlist

I'm not sure I understand why user saned couldn't be in scanner group by
default...

A scanner may not be something which needs much paranoid security, in
general ?

Anyway, it would help a lot to have devices like HP PSC (Printer +
Scanner) working in a networked environment, with network scanning
possible. These are handled in udev (through rules provided by hplip)
through group 'scanner' for access rights.

Thus the need for saned user to belong to the scanner group.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
