The fifth release (0.5) of this backend is still in alpha
status. It
seems to work well with normal/reflective scans in 8 and 16
bit depth
and provides colour, gray and lineart modes (gray and
lineart emulated
in the backend yet) but slide/negative scans don't work
properly and
sometimes the scanner behaviour forces user to reset device.

IMHO the backend is not ready to include in sane-backends.

If you want to take a look:

Changelog:

There are still some weeks left for improvement 

I had a quick look at the package. It compiles fine for me
and I
couldn't find any fundamental problem when looking at the
code.
The only thing is:

make libcheck says:
Libraries exporting 'illegal' symbols:
*** backend/.libs/libsane-hp3900.a:
00000000 D use_gamma_tables
Libraries exporting 'non-standard sane_*' symbols:
*** backend/.libs/libsane-epson.a:
000052d0 T sane_auto_eject

Bye,
  Henning
