Well it didn't work for me. Actually it's worse than before...
I'll detail:

1. when upgrading it said there were changes in the file usermap (IIRC). I asked
for diff and the diff window was empty. I said "replace" my file. Right now
/etc/hotplug/usb/libsane.usermap is 49605 bytes on my computer.

2. scanner connected, after boot, permissions are still root-root

3. deconnecting and reconnecting the scanner without rebooting, permissions are
still root-root (regression)

3. running xsane as normal user _freezes the computer_ !!! Running as root
offers me the choice between the scanner or my webcam (spca5xx). before breezy
didn't offer me that choice it ignored the webcam. I don't know if that update
or another one that I did today caused that. running xsane as root offers me the
choice webcam or scanner. running as normal user after typing 'sudo rmmod
spca5xx' doesn't crash but doesn't detect the scanner

Maybe someone can tell me how to downgrade my libsane to the previous version to
check if the spca5xx mess is connected or if another of my upgrades caused this.
I don't know how to do that...

in any case it seems the upgrade didn't fix it.
