I don't like MODE="0777" in the Epson derived example.
This works for me and _should_ work for all brscan3 devices:
# Brother brscan3 devices
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="*", MODE="0664", GROUP="scanner",
ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"

I forgot to mention that also needed is something like

In my upgraded installation it has not changed since 16.04 and looks like this:
---
# Brother MFC-J220
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0259", MODE="0664",
GROUP="scanner",
My Brother MFC-J220 works now with the 1.0.27-1~experimental2ubuntu2.1
packages.
The brscan3 driver installs files in /usr/lib64 and /usr/lib64/sane.
I linked them by
'sudo ln -sfr /usr/lib64/libbrscandec* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu'
and
'sudo ln -sfr /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-brother*
I called the workaround "ugly", because it bypasses the apt package
management routines and there might be no easy way back when a working
upgrade is released.

Hopefully this bug will be fixed eventually, but for now I found an ugly
workaround which made my Brother scanner (brscan3 driver) work again.
- Installed the equivs package.
- Purged libsane1 by 'sudo dpkg --purge --ignore-depends=libsane1
libsane1'.
- Installed the zesty versions of libsane,
