Hi,

I've changed the following description files to the new format because
there has been no activity from the respective backend maintainers
(and the those maintainers don't have an account for the new CVS
server yet anyway):

umax1220u.desc
microtek2.desc
hpsj5s.desc
fujitsu.desc
canon630u.desc

Please check if the new status values are correct. I guessed them from
the old status and the manual pages. If they are not ok, please update
them in CVS (see http://www.sane-project.org/cvs.html for how to get
access to the CVS server).

The following description files still generate warnings because they
haven't been moved to the new format:

avision.desc
canon.desc
epson.desc
sharp.desc

As their maintainers have an alioth account I've just assigned the
bugs to them :-). You can see which bugs you have been assigned by logging
in to alioth: http://alioth.debian.org/account/login.php
The bugs should blisted in "My assigned items" on "My Page".

Usually you just need to remove the :status for the backend and add or
modify the :status values for each scanner (:unsupported, :minimal,
:basic, :good or :complete).

Bye,
  Henning
