Yeah, Jörg wasn't happy about Ubuntu's (my) decision either but I
didn't think it was good for Ubuntu to keep shipping an outdated git
snapshot of sane-backends.
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends
For Ubuntu 17.10, it looks like the best solution now is to add a
transitional package since the Provides didn't work. But for 18.04 we
could probably rename the package back to libsane since it doesn't
look like there is any need to rename the package (considering there
are third-party debs out there).
Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha
