Current scheme for scanners is as follows:
- user access: device is group scanner
- saned access: device is group saned
- user AND saned: either put the saned user in the scanner group, or
make the device saned:scanner.
USB and SCSI scanners are handled the same way.
So to reiterate what I wrote already, if you want to get rid of that
in the rules shipped with udev, that's fine by me; libsane will take
care of it, it'll be in the next upstream release anyway.
