Package: libsane
Version: 1.0.19-20
Severity: minor

I installed libsane (as a dependency of kooka) and then connected my USB
scanner (a Mustek 1248UB). The device nodes in /dev/usbdev* were owned
by root:root and hence the scanner was not accessible by me -
"scanimage -L" showed the scanner as root but not as the normal user.

I had to manually restart udev to get it to read the rules file; after
that (and unplugging and replugging the scanner) the permissions were
correct and everything was fine.

libsane should do this for you when it is installed so installation is
more transparent.
