No backend has ever been removed from SANE as far as I know. Just have
a look at backend/sm3600*. If it isn't there, you don't have the
original sources from mostang.com.

So the backend is not installed when you built sane-backends from
source? Check the configure output, it's mentioned there. A reason for
this may be that you don't have libus 0.1.6 and its headers installed.
