You built the packages as root? Lintian would then run as root. There is
a warning about this. Can be ignored but 'debuild -us -uc' should be run
as a user.

Probably nothing to worry about when it comes to using sane. But I am no
expert here.
Five .debs are built; only libsane, libsane-common and sane-utils need
to be installed with 'dpkg -i'.

At least 'sane-find-scanner' works. :) Note that its purpose is only to
find a scanner. The purpose of 'scanimage -L' is to discover whether
there is a backend which will drive the found scanner. As you say, it
should find yours is supported in genesys.conf.
Check that 0x04a9 0x1906 in genesys.conf is matched by what the output
of 'lsusb' should show (04a9 1906).
Make it easy for 'scanimage -L' and not have it have to search for a
backend to use: comment out or delete every line in dll.conf apart from
"genesys" and restart the sane service.
Change USB ports for the scanner. USB2 or USB3?
