Bug Description

When I try to scan using simplescan application everytime I scan I get an error that the document feeder is empty, despite my scanner not having a feeder, but just a flatbed. Running simplescan --debug shows that 'flatbed' is selected as source. Initially I thought this was a bug with simplescan itself, but it turned out to be a problem in libsane itself. The following upstream issue describes the symptoms:

https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/-/issues/654

And it turns out the following upstrema patch actually fixes it, verified it by building a local libsane package with the patch applied:

Please include it in an updated package for Ubuntu Noble.
