:new is used when the backend is included in the sane-backends distribution.
This is only for the first release of sane-backends that include this
backend. After that release the status is set to :alpha, :beta, or
stable.

Maybe we should use a special token for :new, beacuse new backends can
also be of :alpha, :beta or :stable quality.

Anyway, not included backends are not :new :-)
