Yes, this is true.  However, why...

1). Wasn't sg.c removed from /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi?

2). Wasn't this announced in the changes in Jaunty?  All of us who use
SCSI based scanners were used to using modprobe to insert sg.ko.
And now all of a sudden, it changed without any notification.  Or did
I miss that?

n.b.  It is still necessary to write to /proc/scsi/scsi but you have
to do that anyway.
