Most people using libsane will need scanimage at some point, because
it's used extensively in documentation. Others won't need/want it and
are free to do away with it. That's exactly what Recommends is for.

As for saned, it's disabled by default. Do you really want yet another
package for a single executable, its manpage and an initscript?

Me neither.
