ToastBusters, you're dead right - upgrading to the Debian packages listed fixes the problem in Ubuntu 8.10 and probably in 8.04 as well as this has been "broken" since then! XSANE now works really well.
A few things to note, you also need http://packages.debian.org/sid/libs /libsane-extras otherwise libsane reports an dependency problem. The install order is update-inetd sane-utils libsane-extras libsane Lets hope the Ubuntu team are equally on the ball.
