Package: gscan2pdf
Version: 0.9.19-1
Severity: normal

Even though Tesseract does a good job at reading the docs I scanned,
gscan2pdf seems to save the PDF as image, meaning that neither
search nor copy-paste work on the final product. This makes me doubt
the usefulness of having such a nice integration of OCR in
gscan2pdf, but I assume it's unintended.
