Bug Description
SANE in Ubuntu is currently built using libusb 0.1.x. This library is deprecated and not maintained upstream any more. The up-to-date version is 1.0.x. SANE even supports the new library upstream, it only needs to be built with it. So I ask for swittching it over. Should only need a command line option for "./configure" in debian/rules and a change of the build dependencies in debian/control.
This is also better for Precise LTS, to avoid needing 5 years of support for an unmaintained library.
SANE with libusb 0.1.x is insane.
