Printing a job to a server can be done without any user interaction. So I can see the arguments why a server machine can easily be used as a print server too (for spooling). But scanning usually requires interaction, like turning pages on the scanner, pressing some buttons, watching previews, cutting the image, etc. This cannot be done without having a user sitting in front of the machine, and IMHO this contradicts the server declaration. Therefore I don't see a need to blow a server with SANE packages additional. I thought, I already gave this hint in my first posting...
