X-Debbugs-CC: debian@jff.email Dear Debian xsane package maintainer,
After having Debian bug 1076101 fixed in Debian Unstable/Testing, I would like to see it fixed in Debian Stable (Debian 12) as well. As a result, I may prepare a stable-pu upload to upload the same fix to Debian Bookworm within a week. If you have any questions or doubts, please let me know as soon as possible.
