the best scenario i've come up with is to use an i386 system, thus
avoiding the use of --force-architecture

in this situation, all i had to do was copy usr/lib/sane/* from the
libsane_1.0.19-1_i386.deb to /usr/lib/sane.  SANE's scanimage, xsane,
etc. all work in this case.

i am now going to purse the possible violation of the GPL by Mustek,
starting with the legal at lists.gpl-violations.org mailing list.

best of luck
