Hi all, as a workaround on ubuntu artful I got rolled back to libsane
libsane-common from zesty, that is 1.0.25+git20150528-1ubuntu4, and xsane
xsane-common 0999.3ubuntu2, locked to those releases; my Epson Perfection 4490
scanner (third party epkowa backend) would only run as root; added the lines
# Epson Perfection 4490
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0119", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"
to the file /lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules right after the line
LABEL="libsane_usb_rules_begin"
and the scanner is now working as it always did.
Would be great if this libsane1 thing would be fixed though.

Title:
the change from libsane to libsane1 broke many (all?) 3rd party plug-
ins for sane
Status in sane-backends package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in sane-backends package in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
I don't know if that can be prevented in the long run. But both brscan
(for my brother scanner) and iscan (for my epson scanners) have been
broken by the change from libsane to libsane1. For iscan I have
unpackaged the debian package, changed the dependency it contains from
libsane to libsane1 and installed the changed package. But even then
my epson scanners no more work leaving me without any scanner =>
Reporting a bug.
