rafe,
So I'd say your current situation is that you have sane installed in a 
couple of places (usr/lib and usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu)
and you are running a version of 1.0.25
I think the genesys backend is supposed to support your lide 220 
scanner, so I'd now do this in terminal:
    ...$ export SANE_DEBUG_GENESYS=10
    ...$ scanimage -L
the first line causes the genesys backend to output debug information 
when you run scanimage, a higher number gives more detail.
So you should see some debug info as scanimage looks for the scanner. 
(If you see nothing the genesys backend is probably not enabled)

If the backend is being run by scanimage, but not finding the scanner:
Look at the file  /etc/sane.d/genesys.conf to see if it has the lines
    # Canon LiDE 220
    usb 0x04a9 0x190f
if not your version of sane may not be new enough.
