Hi Ralph,
You can't use the same process as for sane-git => 
1.1.1+git[date(Ymd)]-jammy0
For sane-release => 1.1.1+git[release commit number]-jammy0 which done 
for the source package :
sane-backends_1.1.1+git332edc8b.orig.tar.xz
This source package is not present anywhere, I don't know how you do it, 
so this is just a guess ...
