/proc/bus/usb is Linux-specific. I don't think it should be mentioned
in sane-find-scanner output (which is somewhat overloaded anyway).

What we could add is a link to the sane-usb manpage:

Instead of:

  # No USB scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
  # you have loaded a driver for your USB host controller and have installed a
  # kernel scanner module.

(which is wrong anyway) use:

  # No USB scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
  # you have loaded a driver for your USB host controller and have setup the USB
  # system correctly. See man sane-usb for details.

Bye,
