Severity downgraded as this does not affect many users and we have no
reasons to believe it is a security problem yet. I will raise it back again
if we find otherwise.

You'd need both scanimage and the entire set of hplip stuff inside hpaio
with debug symbols.
I cannot compile this for you on ARM, but since I am packaging 0.9.11 right
now anyway, might as well add -dbg packages for it. This is not the first
time a -dbg package for the hplip binaries might have come in handy. The
only problem is that this will take a while to clear the "NEW" queue as
0.9.11 will have new binary packages that must be OKed manually by
ftp-masters, but since I need a new hplip-doc package anyway...
Julien, how about providing -dbg packages for "sane" as well? That could help
a lot for users to get good gdb backtraces... I have cloned this bug into a
wishlist bug against sane-backends requesting the -dbg packages.
Manolis, while we work out the debug packages, please try running scanimage
under strace and ltrace (you may need to give options to strace and ltrace
to get it to follow fork()s, etc). See if you get some useful output from
strace and ltrace, and if so, please send them to me. They might have
enough information to track the bug down.
Also, *please* try the Sid hplip 0.9.10-1 package, and tell me if it doesn't
perchance fix the problem you found on 0.9.7.
