To the extent this bug is similar to the linked Debian bug, it was fixed
in Ubuntu 19.04, so I marked it as "Fix Released". OTOH, in that case
there is a need to backport the fix to Ubuntu 18.04, and therefore I
added a bionic bug task.

Title:
Many 3rd party scanner drivers are broken by a sane change
Status in sane-backends package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in sane-backends source package in Bionic:
In Progress
Status in sane-backends package in Debian:
Unknown
Bug description:
Many scanners can no more be used since sane has changed something:
The 3rd-party plug-in the vendor provides as .deb package will still
install. But the scanner is no more recognized.
Scanners that are affected are(besides others):
- Epson Perfection V10
- Epson Perfection V1000
- Epson WorkForce GT-1500
- Brother MFC-8510DN
- Epson Perfection V33
It is to note that the probability that the scanner manufacturers fix
things others broke is below 100%.
