Bug confirmed in Hardy Heron Alpha 3

Only root has access to scanners connected to the USB port!! So if you
use "SUDO sane-find-scanner" "SUDO scanimage -L" and "SUDO scanimage
--format tiff --resolution 300 -x 215 -y 297 > image" - or something
like that - everything works fine. This is very annoying since my user
name is present in the scanner group and full access has been granted to
the USB subsytem in /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules:

# USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", MODE="0777"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device",                MODE="0777"

As already mentioned above, the odd things is that the file 45-libsane-
rules isn't present in /etc/udev/rules.d anymore, but there are two
files in /etc/modprobe.d/ - libsane and blacklist-scanner - with the
following content:

blacklist scanner
blacklist hpusbscsi

Soooo, all the scanner modules are blacklisted, and there are no udev
rules for libsane ... but root still has access to the scanner. Can
anyone explain this?
