The fujitsu backend includes the serial number of the scanner in the device name. The users would have to memorize that number. Anything more would be a code change. The best place to make such a change would probably be in saned itself, so that all backends could benefit. Unfortunately, many backends use a dynamically generated device name, so saned might see different device names after the host reboots. So, the easiest place to solve this would likely be in the fujitsu backend itself. We could potentially replace the serial number with a user-specified device name. This requires more thought.
