/etc/sane.d/dll.conf was the right hint! ;-)) "brother2" was not mentioned. Thus editing and running 'SANE_DEBUG... scanimage -L' showed the device in full beauty.
And xscanimage works now. I'm somewaht surprised that it shows the preview window but does not show anything when scanning. I was used to that behaviour with my old scanner (UMAX Astra 1600, if I remember correctly). Can I change some settings?
