Oh, I did, but it looks like I only sent the answer to linux-usb-devel. | SANE 1.0.9 will have support for both the scanner driver and libusb. | However, some backends (drivers) still have hardcoded links to | /dev/usb/scanner? so it will take at least one more version to get it | right.

I have no idea about other packages. | | But that's just my personal opinion.
