Sorry for not being clear (enough).  I had hoped it was "obvious" that
the BE stood for whatever backend you're interested in.  We have about
94 of them in sane-backends :-)

In your case, BE=genesys, that'd become sane-genesys, genesys.conf and
backend/genesys.conf.in, respectively.

# Perhaps I should have added a $ and write sane-$BE?

Hope this helps,
