** Description changed:

  Impact
  ======
  Some manufacturers and vendors distribute their own scanner drivers. Some of 
these drivers install to /usr/lib/sane/ instead of the multi-arch directory 
Ubuntu uses.
  
  Expected Behavior
  ================
  sane-backends should support the non-multiarch directory too.
  
  Also, some Brother drivers use the /usr/lib64/sane/ directory (as used
  in Fedora and RHEL). It would be helpful if Ubuntu supported that
  directory too.
  
  Other Info
  ==========
  There is much more discussion about this issue at LP: #1728012
  I split this bug off since this is about a single specific issue and that bug 
has become more of a support thread.
  
  The multiarch switch seemed to happen in 1.0.22-4 way back in 2011.
  
- I don't know why there seem to be more reports now. Ubuntu's sane-
- backends did switch to debhelper compat >= 9 after Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
+ I don't know why there seem to be more reports now.
