It would be very helpful if there were an official PPA for SANE .debs. Ubuntu 9.04's use of libsane-1.0.19-23ubuntu7 would probably bring a substantial influx of willing testers with hardware, if there was an easy way to track 1.0.20 releases with an entry under sources.list.d. Could the git snap

Is there any interest in migrating SANE's CVS to a newer revision control system? Subversion would be an improvement for its repository-wide revision numbers. A DVCS such as git would be even more interesting, given the apparent number of people who could contribute code and/or scanner test data.
