New package: iscan-2.30.1 and related This commit adds support for Epson scanners. It packages the iscan application, the epkowa SANE backend, iscan-data, as well as the scanner-specific plugin for the GT S650 (and by extension V19 and V39). More scanner plugins may be added later when people request them. iscan is unfree because it ships with a binary blob. sane-epkowa is free, however, same as iscan-data. Scanner plugins are unfree again. All unfree components are covered by the AVASYS license. Not only does it allow distribution, it's also almost a free license. However, it forbids reverse engineering the binary blobs. The binary blobs make this x86/amd64-only packages. The epkowa backend itself could technically be compiled for other architectures, but it's not evident that it's worth the time. Most modern scanners need a proprietary plugin.
