There is no right/wrong to this, mostly only opinion.
I'd prefer a recommends over a seed change, but that is opinion.

If sane-backends is the right place is up to you, but what you
described sounded plausible to me.
I checked and sane-backends is only the source package.

saine-airscan provides
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-airscan.so.1

Which plugs into pkg:libsane1 - so from src:sane-backends a recommends
most likely would be added to binary package libsane1 I guess?
