Unfortunately there are stupid devices out there.  Look at the "usb
0x05d8 0x4002" entry in gt68xx.conf for example - there are lots of
different scanners with the same USB ID, and most of them need
explicit overrides ("vendor" and "model" are just cosmetic, but
"override" and "firmware" lines really change things).  In this case
the config tool would need to get the real scanner model from the user
and modify the config file appropriately.
