Message sent some time ago:
  Hi Ralph
  You can't use git in the launchpad build environment
  So the reslease version is placed in the gitdescrib file
  To solve the build problem
  I propose you a fix via a patch modification :
  debian/patches/0720-sane-git-snapshot-enable-aclocal.patch
  and a modification of :
  debian/rules
  You do not need to modify the dource file 
sane-backends_1.1.1.orig.tar.xz

  I put you as the only recipient for fear of being rejected because of 
the attachments!

  Thierry
