On my system I have /etc/udev/rules.d/99-libsane.rules which belongs to
media-gfx/sane-backends-1.0.18-r2.
I emerged xsane, sane-backends and sane-frontends and except for adding
myself to the scanner group it "just worked". I have an Epson 1650 scanner.
I don't use it much.
Perhaps re-emerging the sane packages would clean things up.
