This seems to indicate that you could use

usb /dev/ugen0

in your SANE config file.

I've read back to some archived questions, and it seems (I'm guessing)
that this scanner lacks a reference in these two files:

/usr/src/sys/dev/usb/uscanner.c
/usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs

I say this, because while the above queries turn up the correct
info[1] for the scanner, there is no uscanner0 device created in /dev/
on this system:

5.4-STABLE FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #0: Sun Jan 22 21:00:53 EST 2006
[EMAIL PROTECTED] nondescript blue box:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ANNA2  i386

So my query: if my guess is correct, and who do I ask to patch the
relevant source?

The normal procedure is to submit a bug report with send-pr, preferably with patches. It should be enough to submit the information shown above.

I did look at the code, but wasn't certain how to translate from the
three outputs above into an appropriate syntax.

I have 6.0 (strongly suggest you upgrade) and don't have that scanner. You should be able to add a line to the Canon section of usbdevs:

product CANON LIDE60            0x221c  CanoScan LiDE60

and then add this line to the Canon section of uscanner.c:

{{ USB_VENDOR_CANON, USB_PRODUCT_CANON_LIDE60 }, 0 },

Then rebuild (make, make install).  Probably need to -HUP usbd, also.
