Package: libsane
Version: 1.0.19-23
Severity: important

libsane should only recommend libsane-extras.  Dependency precludes
installation of third party software to make my scanner (epson stylus
office tx300f) work properly.  Building sane-backends from source,
removing the dependency for libsane-extras allows me to install the .deb
from avasys, but I also have to install 1/2 gig of build-depends to do
so.
