A distribution is an integrated set of software. Integrating software
means we have to decide on features and default/base configuration for
every software/package, and that includes the kernel.

The distribution is built with the expectation that some kernel features
will be available, and this is reflected by the configuration of the
Debian kernels.

If you build your own kernels, you have to take this into account.

Now this change in libsane fixes real issues in pretty much the only way
that's elegant, reliable and not a crude, dirty, fragile hack of some
sort.

You're always free to override the default udev rules provided by
libsane using the previous method. You can generate the rules from the
sane-backends source using sane-desc and the description files, using
the udev mode instead of the udev+acl mode (sane-desc -m udev).
