- What is going to happen to sane-escl? Can we remove it from sans-
backends, not shipping if or separate it to demote it to universe?

There are no special ./configure options to suppress a backend in sane-
backends, one could build without libcurl dependency, as sane-escl needs
it, but there is the risk that in later sane-backends versions libcurl
is needed by something else. Or libcurl can be present on the build
server due to another dependency.

So perhaps the best is either

  o to install sane-escl into a separate package which is not seeded or
    pulled in by another package's dependency
  o simply to comment out "escl" in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf

- Can we remerge the version against latest upstream? (We lag one
version behind compared to debian testing).

Yes, I have skipped the 0.99.13 as it did not work with my scanner. I
will update the package to one of the later versions.

- Related to above: can we resync with debian using an alternative
build-dep? (debian-build-dep | ubuntu-build-dep)?

I will ask the Debian guys

- Will this package be brought as a recommends of another package or
seeded directly?

Could be recommended from sane-backends.
