Hi Olaf, I tried to build a recent version for zesty some weeks ago with my test ppa: https://launchpad.net/~rolfbensch/+archive/ubuntu/sane-test/+packages .
I'll try to investigate this issue next week. If you can provide a patch before, I can merge it into the build system very quickly. Hope this helps.
