my distribution neither supports Flatpaks, Snaps, nor AppImages.
Ok, I can try out Flatpak and keep fingers crossed, but that is just a
kind of workaround and no clean solution for all Linuxers.

And isn't one of the goals of SANE that other applications can use
libsane to access scanners? That won't work if the library is not
installed globally.
