** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
  The patch 0125-multiarch_dll_search_path.patch makes /usr/lib/sane be
  recognized as a directory for SANE backends. However, some .deb files
  with scanner drivers, typically provided by Brother, install files in
- /usr/lib64/sane. It would be great if that directory could be supported
- too.
+ /usr/lib64/sane.
  
  This issue has been discussed in bug #1728012, but was broken out from
  there to not block another more important change in bionic.
  
- If Debian accepts the proposal in <https://bugs.debian.org/931297>, the
- change is a SRU candidate to bionic at first hand.
+ sane-backends 1.0.31-1~experimental1 adds support for /usr/lib64/sane,
+ and so do the debdiffs attached to this bug report for focal and bionic.
+ 
+ [Test case]
+ 
+ * Configure an affected scanner with drivers installed via
+   e.g. brscan2
+ 
+ * Try to scan with simple-scan
+ 
+ -> Find that the scanner is not found
+ 
+ * Install libsane{,1}, libsane-common and sane-utils from
+   {focal,bionic}-proposed
+ 
+ * Try to scan again
+ 
+ -> Scanner found and scanning works
+ 
+ [Regression risk]
+ 
+ This only adds a directory to the lib search path via an existing patch,
+ so the regression risk should be minimal.
