Another point is that /usr/local is the place for non-package files.

I'm intrigued; I hadn't realised that conversion of the scanned image
for some vendors' devices took place on the device itself. How do you
know this happens? It is the frontend to SANE (xsane or scanimage, for
example) which I've always associated with image aquisition conversion.

The behaviour on unstable is unchanged from stretch. To use tty1 for X,
move ~/.bash_logout out of the way or alter it. That doesn't mean the
origin of the bug doesn't involve systemd or X, but it removes the
