Public bug reported:

The default setup for `systemd` fails silently (process "inactive
(dead)" after start) and `saned` can only be started with `sudo
/usr/sbin/saned -d -s -a saned`. The problem can be reduced to the
choice of user by running

    $ sudo start-stop-daemon --start --exec /usr/sbin/saned --user saned 
--group saned -- -d -s -a saned
    [saned] main: starting debug mode (level 2)
    [saned] saned (AF-indep+IPv6) from sane-backends 1.0.24 starting up
    [saned] do_bindings: [0] bind failed: Address already in use
    [saned] check_host: access by remote host: ::ffff:127.0.0.1
    [saned] init: access granted to richter@::ffff:127.0.0.1
    [saned] process_request: bad status 22
    [saned] bailing out, waiting for children...
    [saned] bail_out: all children exited

(the `Address already in use` message seems to non-fatal (IPv6
related?)) which fails and

    $ sudo start-stop-daemon --start --exec /usr/sbin/saned --user root --group 
root -- -d -s -a saned
    [saned] main: starting debug mode (level 2)
    [saned] saned (AF-indep+IPv6) from sane-backends 1.0.24 starting up
    [saned] do_bindings: [0] bind failed: Address already in use
    [saned] check_host: access by remote host: ::ffff:127.0.0.1
    [saned] init: access granted to richter@::ffff:127.0.0.1

which works, but runs with service without reduced privileges which
would be preferable for a service.
