Old scanner died.
Bought a new one (Canon CanoScan 8800F).
SANE website says it's fully supported by the PIXMA library.
Experience: under Lucid (libsane v1.0.20) I get nothing. I found a reference to a hack which requires editing a udev rule if it doesn't include the scanner info, but it apparently relies on a newer version of SANE (v1.0.21) - of course.
I tried it in Maverick, which includes v1.0.21 and it works.

I've updated my builder scripts for Maverick (Ubuntu 10.10). So far everything seems OK, but I've yet to test in a real-world environment (just in a VM, which has never been a problem).
It includes a backup builder that constructs a customized script for users to use for backing up data.
I'll build an ISO later this week and try it out on Radish.
