Package: libsane1
Version: 1.0.27-1~experimental1ubuntu2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

There are wishlist bugs already about individual packages no more
working after switching from libsane1 to libsane but I think the
situation is more grave than that: All 3rd-party scanner drivers that
are shipped in .deb packages depend on libsane. Renaming the package to
libsane1 without adding a "provides" breaks that dependency and it seems
like merely adding the "provides" does not get them into a working order
again. On my part both epson scanners I own and the
brother scanner are broken since the library has changed which leaves me
with no access to any scanner - and Ubuntu has pulled the libsane1 from
debian which means that ubuntu will havve the same problem, as well.
