In the mustek_usb backend I'm using the following compromise: Try to
detect all supported Mustek scanners by "usb vendor product" entries.
If this doesn't work (because the kernel doesn't support it), the user
must specify the device file and type of scanner manually. So with
newer Linux kernels the user doesn't have to modify anything and the
backend doesn't interfere with non-Mustek scanners.

Bye,
