Package: libsane
Version: 1.0.17-1
Severity: minor

libsane udev rules correctly use the udev built-in machinery to set the
proper owner, group and mode on the device node.

However, it calls the hotplug script, which in turn sets them again, and
then tries to run a hotplug executable if it is in the database.

Well, please use a different hotplug script for the udev case (or modify the
current one so that it detect that it is running under udev and not hotplug)
so as not to override the owner, group and mode the user set in the udev
rules file.

The truth is that hotplug is going away, and it is confusing to have these
things being done in two places, one overriding the other. I'd be probably
best if support for setting owner, group and mode was removed from the
hotplug database for Etch.
