It doesn't need proprietary modules. As the V700 has only been added in CVS after 1.0.18 released, I would assume it is not in the list of scanners used by udev/hotplug. Add a line similar to the ones already in /etc/udev/rules.d/*libsane.rules or /etc/hotplug/usb/libsane.usermap to match the Perfection V700. Just replace the USB product ID to match your device (0x012c).
