Can you let us know which version of SANE you are currently running?
scanimage -V is one way to know.

Building on Debian is straightforward.

1) Get the build dependencies: sudo apt build-dep libsane1
2) Clone the backends repo: git clone
https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends.git
3) Build:

cd backends
./autogen.sh
./configure
./make
./make install

This will install to /usr/local, but you can use --prefix=3D{dir} to set a
different target, perhaps in your home directory. That's what I do.

Cheers,
Ralph
