This is a custom change from my side to make my Mustek scanner work. See https://gitlab.com/sane-project/frontend/xsane/-/issues/15

So after your new patch I now can click "Keep old version" in case of update, without having a non up-to-date config file. This is fine.

I'm not aware, if the Ubuntu packaging manager distinguishes between comments and real setting changes. If, then I I'm in good hope, it would accept the custom setting without prompting for choice between existing and packages default content.
