Hans, we can certainly disagree. But it seems you as well as some of
the upstream devs do not understand much about packaging. If you want
timely fixes, pay someone to do it. If you want to make a mess of your
system, install random packages. I'm fine with any of that. I'm not
fine if then such person comes back and waste Ubuntu devs time with a
problem they did not create or gives Ubuntu a bad name that they did not
deserve in this case. I hope that makes sense.
BTW, scanner support is the responsibility of the manufacturer, don't
you think? Have you complained to them about lack of FOSS support?
Have you taken this into consideration when you purchased your scanner?
Or have you simply purchased whatever was cheapest? IMO, what is not
acceptable is buying cheap, unsupported stuff and then complaining to
people doing a LOT of work for you for free. Last comment, if you feel
that all of this is so unacceptable then have you rolled up your sleeve
and provided a patch or at least tried to?
** Changed in: sane-backends (Ubuntu)
