Thanks for the reply!  Certainly, creating a device node or symlink with
a fixed name is a possibility ...

I could simply copy the entry for my scanner from libsane.rules and add
a NAME or SYMLINK key.  In addition, I'd have to edit
"/usr/local/etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf".  That's not according to the
(misleading, incorrect?) instructions in README.linux, but it should do
the trick, unfortunately only for this one scanner.
