Package: xsane
Version: 0.99+0.991-1
Severity: normal
Under certain conditions, the click-through appears again and again, at each
startup. I believe this to be a bug, because at

Here's the situation:
- USB scanner is plugged in and available,
- user is not in group scanner,
- user runs xsane for the first time.
(Won't this happen to many users? It's a pretty reasonable scenario.)
- User encounters the click-through, a little upsetting (#132679), but
not too important. She clicks "accept". Up pops
"Failed to open device `niash:libusb:004:006': Device busy."
(Not a helpful message; see bug #409550. By contrast, if no scanner is
plugged in, xsane produces a nice help button.)
User clicks to exit the program, and fiddles around trying to get xsane to
work. Unplugs and replugs the scanner. Tries different ports. Struggles
with the documentation, tries some wrong things. She does the right thing,
and adds herself to the group scanner - but without logging in and out, so it
still doesn't work.
Each time she tries xsane, she has to click through the licence again before
getting the same error. The error is annoying enough. By now, the repeated
licence click-through is upsetting and insulting.
Result: this user's first exposure to xsane is exasperating, and her opinion
of debian as a desktop goes down.
I believe many users will share this experience.
Please consider adjusting xsane, so the click-through is shown only once.
Best wishes,

As explained already, this is the normal behaviour.
