USB scanners and PR 50340

[Dave Tyson <dtyson%anduin.org.uk@localhost>]

I note that PR 50340 has been closed and with the latest pkgsrc under current 
(amd64) my Mustek 1200 UB scanner seems to work OK - but I have comment out 
the uscanner device in the kernel and use it as a ugen device. It seems that 
this is the 'new world order' and the sane backend code to handle uscanner 
devices is deprecated. Given this is the case is there any point in still 
keeping the 

uscanner* at uhub? port ?

in GENERIC?

I am of the same opinion as the PR originator that it is easier to control 
access permissions with a uscanner device rather than having to open up a 
whole raft of ugen devices, but I guess the sane developers feel that using 
libusb makes support easier...
