Hi Olaf, Debian and Ubuntu use autoconf for building their repositories. Since git commit bf00b9f49 they need a full git clone for running through 'configure.ac'.
For my PPA I created a patch to revert this commit. On the other hand, after a git gull I always need to call './autogen.sh && ./configure' to see the updated git version in my manually builds, e.g. $ scanimage -V scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.28-3-g90684c53; backend version 1.0.28 This is annoying any I think you had another idea behind your commit. Hope this helps.
