Are you sure, it is "xscane" and not "xsane"? I thought you just did a
typo in my post, but now you did it twice, so no typo?

Sorry, I don't know what the program is called, as I've never used it...

Well, if it's "obsoleted" AND "broken", why not remove it from Kconfig
altogether, just leaving a pointer "scanner has been replaced by
libusb"?

You mean xsane, or any other stuff that uses original SANE backends,
Epkowa's iscan doesn't appear to work yet (but seems to require the
scanner module still), see sane-devel archives:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2003-December/009803.html
JFTR, my /etc/sane.d/epson.conf (SANE 1.0.10 here) now has:
# /etc/sane.d/epson.conf
# I personally don't need this:
scsi EPSON
# adjust the hex numbers to vendor and product as printed
# by sane-find-scanner, this is for instance an Epson Perfection 1650:
usb libusb
usb 0x04b8 0x0110
KHK's "epson" backend seems to work fine though. scanimage -L, xsane.
