In the mean time though, I've noticed that iscan-data also includes a /lib/udev/hwdb.d/iscan-data.hwdb that has an entry for the Perfection V10. Based on what I see on a Devuan beowulf setup (basically Debian buster w/o systemd), that ought to be enough to make the device usable for a logged in user.
