My bad: the 'ENV' line is on by default, not the 'SYMLINK', my
apologies. Following is the content of the 60-brother-mfp-type1.rules
installed by the brother-udev-rule-type1 package. Uncommenting the
options at the bottom doesn't make any difference: the scanner only
works with xsane as true root.

Title:
Many 3rd party scanner drivers are broken by a sane change
Status in sane-backends package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Many scanners can no more be used since sane has changed something:
The 3rd-party plug-in the vendor provides as .deb package will still
install. But the scanner is no more recognized.
Scanners that are affected are(besides others):
- Epson Perfection V10
- Epson Perfection V1000
- Epson WorkForce GT-1500
- Brother MFC-8510DN
- Epson Perfection V33
It is to note that the probability that the scanner manufacturers fix
things others broke is below 100%.
