You are talking about sane-hp5400.so that's in your package?
ls -l sane-hp5400.so
-rwxr-xr-x    1 hmg      hmg         83577 2003-02-23 13:52 sane-hp5400.so

nm sane-hp5400.so|grep sane
000056cc T sane_hp5400_cancel
00004f48 T sane_hp5400_close
[...]

There is no sane_init (etc.). That may work if you load the library by
the dll meta backend but you can't link to it from a frontend directly.

E.g. my test program (just posted, see thread about segfaults)
complains:

testing libsane-hp5400.so: getting symbol sane_init failed:
./sane-test: undefined symbol: sane_init

So are you sure that sane_init of your backend is called at all?

If you set the appropriate links and run it with the dll backend you
get:
[dll] load: searching backend hp5400' in /usr/local/lib/sane'
[dll] load: trying to load /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-hp5400.so.1'
[dll] load: dlopen()ing /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-hp5400.so.1'
[dll] init: initializing backend hp5400'
[dll] init: backend hp5400' has a wrong major version (0 instead of 1)

Maybe that's because V_MAJOR and V_MINOR is set by sane-backend's
configure?

Bye,
