I tried to compile xsane from the latest GitLab master sources: the gimp plugin works, but then xsane crashes with a memory allocation error, at least with my scanner (maybe it's this issue: https://gitlab.com/sane-project/frontend/xsane/-/issues/44).
I think that at the moment the latest xsane is not enough stable to be packaged.
If someone wants similar functionalities then he can install the package "sane" which has also a gimp plugin.
