I don't think that's a problem. Just check from time to time if the
file was changed in sane-backends so bug-fixes are ported to
sane-frontends.

No, please don't. Maybe we should have even moved scanimage to
sane-frontends when we did the split but now it's too late.

When it's ready, just add it to CVS. Well, asking here if the patch is
ok doesn't harm.
