I think we may be on the verge of a solution.

$ ls /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-epkowa
ls: cannot access '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-epkowa': No such file 
or directory
$ ls /etc/udev/rules.d/*.rules
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-snap.core.rules  /etc/udev/rules.d/79-udev-epson.rules
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-snap.gimp.rules

libsane-epkowa appears to be missing.  I'll see if I can find it and
symlink it to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane .

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%.
