No driver support for Epson Perfection 2580 Photo

[myownserver]

There isn't any driver support for the Epson Perfection 2580 Photo even though it's been around for a few years now.
Since this is the package used by a few of the Scan applications including simple-scan, the default install in 10.04, I figured this was the one to report it to.

I followed the steps in #10 at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1091386 for xSane, but this doesn't work for Simple-Scan.
Since that was simple enough of a process, I figure it wouldn't be too complicated for it to be added to the package.
