Fix for CanoScan scanners showing black line in the middle of scans

On Arch Linux:

• cd to this directory
• run makepkg -si
• install simple-scan or xsane to scan as usual sudo pacman -S simple-scan

On Debian Linux:

This might work (not tested):

sudo apt-get install libusb-dev build-essential libsane-dev libavahi-client-dev libavahi-glib-dev
git clone https://salsa.debian.org/debian/sane-backends.git
cd sane-backends/
git checkout tags/upstream/1.0.25

./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var  --

make
sudo make install
# reboot

TODO: Add the Arch Linux patch into Debian instructions so that latest sane can be used.
