No change.

No.

root@dalton:~# dmesg | grep sg
[ 0.809032] msgmni has been set to 1003

It might be one of them.

root@dalton:~# ls -l /dev/sg*

crw------- 1 root root 21, 1 Jun 12 08:38 /dev/sg1
crw-rw---T 1 root cdrom 21, 2 Jun 12 08:38 /dev/sg2
Is read access is the problem?

root@dalton:~# grep sg /var/log/syslog

I glanced at http://wiki.debian.org/Scanner .
root@dalton:/etc# adduser peter scanner
Adding user `peter' to group `scanner' ...
Adding user peter to group scanner
Done.
With no additional fuss, Xsane and the quiteinsane pluggin
in gimp both find the scanner.
Strikes me as odd that most user applications and resources
are available painlessly while a few need root to put the
user in a group. More odd that scanner membership wasn't
needed in Squeeze or I was removed from the scanner group
in the grade from Squeeze to Wheezy. Is a previously
ignored policy being enforced in Wheezy?
Thanks for the feedback, ... Peter E.
