There is an interesting side effect of bug #347943
(full automated USB scanner setup via udev):
When the SANE driver was set up full automated via udev
there is of course no access permission test as in
test_and_set_scanner_access_permissions
because such a test would be useless because as far as I know
there is no method in udev to notify the user when something
failed (in particular when udev runs during system boot
when no user is logged in).
I fear that most scanners which exist out there in the real world
are listed in /etc/udev/rules.d/56-sane-backends-autoconfig.rules
so that they would be set up full automated so that for most
users out there in the real world there cannot be any
notification when the access permissions are insufficient.
In those cases scanning just does not work and a normal user
has no information at all what is wrong.
Welcome to the hell of full automated setup...
