It does not happen here. Maybe it's caused by running ldconfig when
/usr/local/lib/sane is in ld.so.conf? This would be quite logical as
the name of all SANE backends is "libsane.so" internally and the V4L
backend just happens to be the last one in the alphabet.

I'll also mention it somewhere in the SANE readme or other
documentation.

This mistake was common about five years ago but I haven't heard about
it recenetly.
