libsane-extras is behind one micro version and can't be installed with libsane

[Sergey]

On my Hardy installation with the latest package data, libsane is at 1.0.19-cvs20071213-4ubuntu1, and libsane-extras is at 1.0.18.12. When I try to install libsane-extras, it conflicts with libsane. Many important backends for SANE are in libsane-extras, including the one for Epson scanners that I need, and it would be great if libsane-extras were installable in Hardy.

I'm not sure I filed this for the right package, sorry. Apparently libsane-extras is not part of source package sane-backends. Help is appreciated.
