I am reopening this bug because I think the original reporter's suggestion was right. The fact that he runs Ubuntu doesn't matter for the bug that was reported.
Please see the Impact and Test Case I added to the description of https://launchpad.net/bugs/1707352 I am adding Provides: libsane to Ubuntu's libsane1 and I strongly encourage you to make this change in Debian also. Thanks, Jeremy Bicha
