[sane-devel] [AVISION 6080E] Who is responsible for libsane.fdi?

[Rene Rebe]

Actually I got in touch with git to other project using it (kernel,  
X, ...)
and I said upfront it's a little to hacky for me to get used to it. I  
prefer
a somewhat cleaner, more consistent interface (arguments and options)
such as mercurial, ... But well, I'll push the .desc update  ASAP.
