This was the bit of information that was missing from the README.Debian.
Could you please add it?
Just FYI, I was looking in the main iscan RPM for the module+firmware.
I found one of the directories mentioned in the README.Debian (and none
of the files in it looked relevant), but not the other, so I assumed
that something had changed. For that reason, I went through the
procedure of installing everything they proposed, including the -plugin
RPM where I should have been looking in the first place.

Certainly, if you do not get confused like I did.

Who's complaining? Not me! I'm actually quite grateful that I found a
modern scanner in stock in a local store with any Linux support at all.
But of course I am used to the vendor philosophy
You can attract more flies with honey than with vinegar, but if
you pull off their wings, they will accept any crap you give
them.
