I can confirm that the Epson Perfection V300 is also affected Using libsane1 1.0.27-1~experimental2ubuntu2.1 allows me to install the drivers without conflicts.
But the scanner is not recognized. Neither by scanimage, simple-scan or iscan lsusb shows that the scanner is attached lsusb Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:8001 Intel Corp.
