In karamic for the first time in the history v4l backend actually works.

** Description changed:

- xsane detects tv cards, even though they are not scanners, and cannot be
- used for scanning.
+ xsane detects tv cards, and uses them as scanners.
+ While it might be useful in exceptional cases, usually this is confusing. 
  
  An example of my setup:
  v4l:/dev/video0
  plustek:libusb:005:002
  
- Perhaps all that is required is for v4l or /dev/video devices to be
- ignored?
+ Proper fix should be:
  
- xsane 0.995-1ubuntu1 in Ubuntu Hardy.
+ 1 - make xsane remember last scanner used, and get rid of this unintuitive 
dialog it
+ pops on startup.
+ 
+ 2 - make xsane prefer real scanner. This should be done by adding a settings 
page, listing all scanners
+ and allowing to disable any of them, and v4l scanner should really be 
disabled by default
