The fix for this is pretty trivial, but I think we should remove this package and instead import gnome-scan from Debian (note the dash in the name). We have no special features enabled in our package and the Debian one builds fine in Ubuntu.

Replacement-package gnome-scan is in Ubuntu and builds fine.
