Yes, already done :)
But it does not works. The problem is not very important since I can give the 
name of device under linux frontends, but it is more problematic under 
Windows (I cannot make it work with sanetwain, that is why I will soon 
install a cgi-frontend for SANE :)

----------------------------------------------------------
$ grep -v "^#" /etc/sane.d/epson.conf
usb /dev/usb/scanner0
----------------------------------------------------------

And of course, epson is enabled in dll.conf :)))
