Hi,
please tag sane-backends-1.0.20-10.fc12 for f12-final as it contains the udev rules which are necessary so that normal users can use USB scanners:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=512516
Except for the tool which generates the udev rules (which isn't shipped in the final package), no code has been changed, so the risk of inclusion is minimal.
Without these udev rules, scanning from USB devices will only be possible as the root user, rendering the package near useless for non-technical users.
People subscribed to the bug report have tested the package didn't report ill effects and confirmed that they can use their scanners as normal users now.
