Mind, I'm not against relegating xsane to not being the default, it is
just to complicated for casual users.
As I said, I've made xsane an optional package and xsane-gimp a
conditional based on gimp in comps. This way people that want to have
the stand-alone xsane can choose to do so in the installer and people
that choose gimp get the plugin automatically. For me that's sufficient,
I don't think we need to wait until F-14 for that.
I'd ask of you to put something in the release notes, though, so people
don't get surprised if they don't get xsane per default anymore when
selecting the Graphics group.

There's some information there now about Simple Scan. If anyone wants
to add to that, please do it as a separate paragraph -- that helps the
Docs team make things easier for the Translation teams.
