You are correct, epkowa is a backend sane is looking for because it is
specified in dll.conf. It first looks in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/
but it cannot find what it needs. It falls back to searching for the
needed library in /usr/lib/sane/ but no luck there either.

install.sh is either doing the wrong thing or there was a user error in
using it. We'll probably never know.
What is more intriguing is that neither the epson nor the epson2
backends give anything usable and the logs have no indication of what is
causing it. It is also a little perturbing because the L210 is supposed
to have complete support with epson2.
