[sane-devel] Fix PPA build (was Re: sane-backends release 1.0.26 schedule)

[Rolf Bensch]

Hello All,

My Ubuntu ppa (ppa:rolfbensch/sane-git
<https://launchpad.net/%7Erolfbensch/+archive/ubuntu/sane-git>) is
working again. It distributes pre-built packages for all supported
Ubuntu distributions (amd64, i386 and armhf architectures).

I changed the package names to fit the packages version convention a
little bit more. I hope that this helps to change the package names
provided from Ubuntu.

If you are already using my ppa, you must use the "Force Version"
function of your package manager once to get the updates.

Please report if you may have any problems.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Rolf
