The fact that your Epson Perfection V500 Photo

  requires DFSG non-free iscan-plugin-gt-x770

as is documented at

  http://sane-project.org/lists/sane-backends-external.html#S-EPKOWA

This plugin is only available in binary format for i386 and amd64
architectures AFAIK.  You can get it via the "Package Download Page"
on the site you mentioned.

Sorry to disappoint you.  Please contact the vendor about support for
other architectures.  Without source code, there is nothing the SANE
project can do to help you.
