I've added that patch to CVS. Next time, please attach the patch to
the bug report ("upload"), that way the patch can be downloaded and

Some backends can cope with the kernel scanner driver not returning
USB ids. E.g. by setting options in backend.conf or by otherwise
telling the backend which scanner is actually connected.
