True Epson iscan .deb's can be installed now.
But nevertheless Epson scanners relying on iscan refuse to work (Epson V300 in my case).
scanimage -L doesn't detect them, neither iscan, simple-scan or xsane.
This is less than half a fix.
BTW. in Ubuntu 17.04 the scanner worked with libsane 1.0.25 and with libsane 1.0.27 (provided by Rolf Bensch https://launchpad.net/~rolfbensch/+archive/ubuntu/sane-git/+packages).
