Bug#1115074: RFS: sane-backends/1.4.0-1 -- API library for scanners

[Andrew Bower <andrew@bower.uk>]

Hi Jörg,

Thanks for packaging the new sane-backends upstream!

Apologies for not replying quicker, before you did another mentors
upload - I was originally hoping to do some more general testing to give
you more useful real world feedback before replying.

I have a suggestion for this or a future upload to the archive. Would
you consider (a) disabling the initscript by default so the behaviour
matches the systemd experience, and (b) adding --no-start in both cases
as I don't think there's any point in starting the service on
installation but not on reboot?

How about a change along the lines of this patch?

Andrew
