In my opinion we should avoid disabling backend by default whenever we
can. Two backends are already disabled by default: pnm (for security
reasons) and gphoto2 (gphoto2 api changing). So dc240 should be only
disabled if it can't be compiled.

I don't think disabling it (or any other backend) because it's
supported ba another backend or program is reasonable if it doesn't
harm anything else.
