You mean hysterical or historical :-)...

OK, I see Debian/unstable offers as an installation candidate:

root at iniza:~# LC_ALL=C apt-cache policy ipp-usb
ipp-usb:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 0.9.10-1
  Version table:
     0.9.10-1 99
         99 https://incoming.debian.org/debian-buildd
buildd-unstable/main amd64 Packages
         99 http://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages
         99 https://deb.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages

Hmm, the available sane and libsane (no version 1.0.28) are not suitable:

root at iniza:~# LC_ALL=C apt-cache policy sane
sane:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1.0.14-15
  Version table:
     1.0.14-15 500

         99 https://deb.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages

root at iniza:~# LC_ALL=C apt-cache policy libsane
libsane:
  Installed: 1.0.27-3.2+b1
  Candidate: 1.0.27-3.2+b1
  Version table:
