  Hi Eugene,

  I don`t think that we get on the right way if we do so.
  If we do this, all other sane frontends like xsane, Star-Office etc
  would need the same things.

  In fact sane-backends is compareable to gtk and
  sane-frontends, xsane, scanadf, Staroffice (and other sane frontends)
  are comparable to programs that use gtk. Of course you are right that
  gtk is a bit more widespread, but that is not a reason to handle them
  in a different way.

  I don't know anything about the .spec things.
  Are they common for all distributions or is this a read had topic?
  Does only sane-frontends need a .spec file? how did the one for
  sane-1.0.3 look like?

  I suggest to use the names of the packages we use:
  sane-backends and sane-frontends

  Bye
