  This is how Red Hat did it for 1.0.3. I had a lot of other thing to worry

  Since I am not an active sane users I did not go into details. There could
  be that I left someting out when I was doing a split into backends and
  frontends package. Please feel free to correct.

  Excellent! I'll wait for your test results. If you have time please look
  at xsane RPM in the same place. Apparently latest version does not need
  any patches in order to compile properly on RH 7.0
