The problem was with SANE after all, and it has been fixed in recent
versions.
With woody, version 1.0.7 is distributed. I compiled sane-backends-1.0.13,
and found that "sane-find-scanner" correctly identifies the scanner using
both (2.2 and 2.4) kernels.
Below is a copy of some commands. /usr/bin/sane-find-scanner is from
debian, ./sane-find-scanner is the compiled version. Under 2.4.17, the
Debian version incorrectly "finds" only a USB scanner at /dev/scanner.
