Perhaps only sane-frontends directly in openSUSE is sufficient and xsane could be provided via a "third-party" repository?
Meanwhile I've talked to Manfred Tremmel wo maintains xsane on Packman. He does not seem to have a particular interest in maintaining xsane either. It's there only for historical reasons. So the argument "it's at Packman" counts even less. Since I need xsane personally I'd undrop it and act as maintainer. The xsane home page mentions potential incompatibilities with newer sane versions though. Resolving those has to happen upstream. I hope you're not going to upgrade sane-backends until such issues are fixed.
The maintainers of sane-be seem to be aware of the problems the planned changes will introduce (which are needed an will have to be done anyways), so the changes are postponed for after the 1.0.20 release, as far as I can see. This has been discussed on the sane-be mailing list.
