Ghostscript is installed by most pdf distributions, and if not merge it.
Look here:
gs -q -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=myoutput.pdf
fil21.pdf file2.pdf file3.pdf

Would somebody please suggest to me an appropriate package to do this

I use ImageMagick for joining pages scanned with xsane:
convert page1 page2 pages.pdf
Note that especially for pdf files, tools like pdftk or pdfjam will
probably produce better results. However, (x)sane usually produces
very large pdf files. So you may receive better end results creating
separate png files with sane and then join these (using ImageMagick as
shown above).
