Package: sane-utils Version: 1.0.19-23 Severity: normal Part of the 'Enable saned as a standalone server?' section of the sane-utils template says:
> When run in standalone mode, saned advertises itself on the network and > can be detected automatically by the SANE clients with no configuration > on the client side. An explicit mention somewhere of the role avahi plays would have clued me in to how this is achieved and saved me a bit of time. As it happens I use --no-install-recommends with apt-get and got network scanning going by configuring the client, so I never found out whether mDNS discovery works. With avahi-daemon demoted to a 'Suggests' in Sid it might be beneficial to modify the advice to users. Saned works brilliantly. Thanks for your contribution to making my scanning experience more pleasurable.
