As the kernel config option does not look to be going away (there are plenty of so-called experimental kernel options that are in just about every distro's version) as laptop support is deemed more important, and i tend to concur, even though I don't have a laptop. Becausr this problem does not effect all scanners, just plustek-based ones as far as I can see, the plac this needs to be fixed is imo in the plustek backkend, as all that needs to be done it seems is to have the plustek backend keep the usb device 'awake'.
If so, I wonder if it is a good idea to register bug reports on sane's bug tracker as well?
