sane-find-scanner should detect your scanner and print a line like
"found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9, product=0x263c) at libusb:001:004",
even when no backend supporting your scanner is installed.

If it doesn't, run sane-find-scanner as root:

SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_USB=255 sane-find-scanner -q

and watch for lines containing the USBID of your scanner (0x04a9/0x263c).

You can start with the sane-backends CVS version (after 2006-08-27). I've 
checked in your patch already.
