I would like to have xsane's maintainer advice on this issue. Should we remove xsane from gnome-desktop? (imho, if we keep it somewhere in tasksel, it more belongs to "desktop", indeed) I'm under the feeling that xsane is kind of the reference when it comes at image acquisition software...but installing it on each and every default desktop install is maybe a too big hammer...
