Updating to 2.6.10 i found that the scanner module is removed from
kernel. So sane cannot be used anymore as normal user as only root can
write to the files on /proc/bus/usb/*
With 2.4 it was no problem as sane was reading /dev/usb/scanner*. This
devices could be set to permit several users or groups to full access.
The /proc is a virtual FS and morover /proc/bus/usb is a own virtual FS.
So setting the permissions for one device not work over a reboot. And
morover you have to permit access to all devices as you cannot know
which will be the scanner.
I'm not realy sure if this can be handled by sane as the issue that the
scanner module is removed from the kernel makes to brake all scanners on
usb. (Except you scan as root which is not prefered and xsane also
complain about...) But if sane should work also on newer systems with
kernel 2.6.* it should be a way to handle this.
By the way, the scanner module was removed from kernel in version 2.6.3:

Use of the scanner module is deprecated for a long time, more precisely
from kernel version 2.6.3, as you can now scan through libusb.

Please read /usr/share/doc/libsane/README.Debian.gz to know how to scan
without being root.
This is definitely not a bug, so closing it.
