I was having the exact same problem as you. After seeing your bugreport I went to the "/etc/udev/rules.d/" directory and actually found the 45-libsane.rules file but with a .bak extension. I made a copy of the 45-libsane.rules.bak just in case then I renamed the original dropping the extension. This is when I retried the installation procedures outlined at http://ubuntu.flowconsult.at/en/epson-3170-installation/ and then it atleast initiated Xsane. Even though you've gotten Xsane to run you still have to go to Preferences>Enable Color Management and make sure that that option is not selected. After all of this it seems to work just as it did with Gutsy. Hope it helps.
