Assuming you use sanei_* libraries, you best bet is to initially distribute a patch against the latest release of sane-backends. Once you have some feedback/testing, you could work that patch into shape against the current development version, and submit it for inclusion with the rest of sane-backends. It has been our experience that backends which live out of tree die off, and backends which are designed to build standalone have lots of cruft in them when they get added to sane.
