Fwiw, this is likely to be such a common usability problem, LinuxMint decided to provide more useful sane-airscan version directly in their repositories for mint20.1 based open focal20.04.

Since, Focal 20.04LTS does not have 'sane-airscan' package I think ubuntu should look at providing/backporting this more easily for focal users -- that is, not requiring a convoluted hidden process requiring manual search for bug-reports/PPAs, with no clue to the user this may be needed, and so-on.

Any "Driver-manager" etc could assist with the sane-airscan adding / sane-backends+escl-backport options.
