The problem is, that xsane only just recently (2 months ago, at 2022-05-13) fixed its build to support gimp-2.10 (Commit fd895d45 of https://gitlab.com/sane-project/frontend/xsane.git) Checking out the git repository and rebuild of xsane made the XSane entry reappear in the File->Create menu (and the plugin works and scans flawlessly).

There is one caveat however: xsane now insists on showing its EULA on first start. If the first start of xsane happens to be indirectly, i.e. from gimp, using the plugin, the EULA can not be accepted and the plugin appears to fail. I have no idea why accepting the EULA of a FOSS product is deemed so important, and did not try to find out how to fix the check at startup time, I just wanted to make gimp and its xscan plugin work again for me.

Please update to the latest xsane frontend release so that this bug can be closed. This restores major functionality so that should warrant an update, even though 22.04 has been released.
