This is all wrong.

Neither is xsane a replacement for iscan (/usr/bin/iscan provides
some special features for some Epson scanners) nor can we provide
an up-to-date version of their proprietary stuff without losing
support for some older Epson scanners because Avasys messed it up,
see
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=569917
and follow the links therein, in particular
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=425743
and
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2008-April/021911.html

For any further questions, please contact Avasys directly!


Kind Regards
