Bug Description

There are many bugs fixed between simple-scan 1.0.3 (the latest version released for Lucid) and the current version, 3.2.0.
I've used the version in https://launchpad.net/~robert-ancell/+archive/simple-scan (2.32.0.1-0ubuntu1) but it too has serious bugs fixed in 3.2.0.
Since Lucid is LTS, and hence still supported, could we have a backport of simple-scan 3.2.0 for Lucid?
Thanks.

I am closing this ticket, see the linked ticked about a PPA, but I think it is highly unlikely there will be builds for lucid, because recent versions of simple-scan require gnome3, and simple-scan is really lacking manpower so this low-priority request will not be looked into...
