the sane-utils (v 1.0.27) package in debian sid has the following dependencies:
Depends: adduser, lsb-base (>= 3.0-6), update-inetd, debconf (>= 0.5) |
debconf-2.0,
libavahi-client3 (>= 0.6.16), libavahi-common3 (>= 0.6.16),
libc6 (>= 2.15), libieee1284-3, libjpeg62-turbo (>= 1.3.1),
libpng16-16 (>= 1.6.2-1), libsane (>= 1.0.27), libsystemd0,
libusb-1.0-0 (>= 2:1.0.8)
libsane 1.0.27 doesn't have any dependencies.
As long as the other installed library packages are at least equal to the
versions mentioned above, you should be able to just download the .deb files
for sane-utils and libsane and install them with dpkg. If not, download and
update them (and any of THEIR dependencies) before installing sane-utils.
i.e. download the following from your nearest debian mirror:
.../debian/pool/main/s/sane-backends/libsane_1.0.27-3.1_amd64.deb
.../debian/pool/main/s/sane-backends/sane-utils_1.0.27-3.1_amd64.deb
and install them (as root) with:
dpkg -iBE libsane_1.0.27-3.1_amd64.deb sane-utils_1.0.27-3.1_amd64.deb
(or _i386.deb if you're running on an ancient CPU)
Alternatively, download the debianised source for sane-utils and rebuild for
debian 9. i.e. make your own backport.

PS: I note that systemd has spread its monstrous tentacles even into userland
apps like sane-utils. This is why systemd is a menace - it's already nearly
impossible to avoid and will soon be **actually** impossible for distros that
went down the systemd path of insanity to ever disentangle themselves from
RedHat's linux takeover bid.
FFS! If systemd confined itself to just doing init and didn't assimilate or
infect everything else withing reach, I wouldn't have a problem with it. But
this shit really makes me hate it.
