I don't know if there is a all-in-one solution. What I usually do is to use xsane in save mode. Use file names like image-0001.png which are automatically incremented with each scan. Set up all options. Insert page, press scan, insert next page... After you have finished all pages use e.g. convert *.png final.tif. With scanimage you could write a small shell script which generates a file name, scans the image, waits for a key (e.g. f=finish, everything else=scan another page), and use convert to create the final multipage image.
