extract the debianised source with:
dpkg-source -x sane-backends_1.0.27.dsc

0. Make sure all the essential compilation tools are installed with:
apt-get install build-essential
1. cd sane-backends-1.0.27/
2. run 'dch -i' to change the package version number. e.g. when dch starts up
your text editor, change the first line to something like:
sane-backends (1.0.27-3.1~backport) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium
3. run "dpkg-buildpackage -b --no-sign". This tells dpkg-buildpackage to
build only the binary packages (-b), and not to bother signing anything (not
necessary for self-built packages, and avoids the need to create a gpg key if
you don't have one)
The first time you run this, it will probably give you an error like this:
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: error: Unmet build dependencies: chrpath libgphoto2-dev
libsnmp-dev libsystemd-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev
install those build dep packages with apt-get, e.g.:
apt-get install chrpath libgphoto2-dev libsnmp-dev libsystemd-dev
libusb-1.0-0-dev
and then repeat this step until the packages compile successfully.
4. cd ..
5. install the packages you just built with:
dpkg -iBE *1.0.27-3.1~backport*.deb
