There is a hpaio dependency that ADF requires batch mode (ie: multi-page scanning), but I was not aware there was sane_cancel dependency. For batch scanning I have always recommended scanimage, since xsane did not seem to work in batch mode. I have ignored the problem since scanimage worked, but I will definitely re-visit this issue if scanimage no longer works.
