Package: gscan2pdf
Version: 2.8.0-1, 2.8.1-1
Severity: grave

Except for a couple of times I've been able to get it to work (without knowing
what it was that made it finally work after minutes of battle)...

* when I start gscan2pdf it claims it does not see my scanner and offers to rescan
  or continue without
* rescanning sometimes get me back to this window, sometimes to main screen
* from main screen when I click the scan button, I often get the same complaint
* sometimes I get to the scan dialog with "Epson NX100" properly selected, but then
  launching the scan it complains that it "first has to open the device" (good guess,
  but I'd thought it would do that for me). After which the UI is completely unresponsive
  and I have to kill the app

Upgrading to unstable just adds me a "restart gscan2pdf" in the initial failure dialog,
but that does not help either.

Downgrading to stable's 2.3.0-1 gets me back a fully working version.
