For the record, I am primarily concerned about the printing support in Debian, which packaging I carry mostly alone (I get great help from Brian Potkin for bug triaging, and Till Kamppeter for upstream and Ubuntu support). I don't really intend to also start carrying the scanning stack on my shoulders too. (While I state this, I also know that I might end up taking on this packaging, just don't wait on me if you're interested!)
Thank you for having a look into this.This is not a regular scanner driver but it is a driver which gives support for the scanning parts of practically all modern printer/scanner multi-function devices. And with the soon to be added IPP Scan support an important part of the new IPP-based printing/scanning architecture which is currently under development.
Therefore it is especially interesting to have this package maintained by the Debian Printing Team.
OdyX, I will not ask you to package arbitrary scanner drivers or SANE itself.
WDYT? Till
