You're welcome.

Yep, the scanner was an HP5470c USB.

You can fetch the source package I use to build libsane-extras on
<ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/sane-backends-extras/sane-backends-extras_1.0.10.3.tar.gz>

Basically, you need to add hp5400 to the list of backends in
backend/Makefile.in, and add a dependency for libsane-hp5400.la on
sanei_config2.lo.

With that done, the file backend/hp5400.c will be picked up and built
(that's why I had to rename hp5400-sane.c).
