I know this isn't as trivial as it sounds, as right permissions are something
one can argue about, but a comment about it should be emitted during the
install process.
Something like
if RW-others : "Please note that making scsi-genric devices world RW-able
poses a security risk and is normally not a good idea."
if RW-group : "please note that you need to be in group [group] to access
the scanner. Either make sure all users are in that group
or make the executables setgid to it."
if RW-owner : "[as with group]. [if uid is root] Please note that SANE has
not been designed to be run suid-root. Consider using a
setgid setup ..."
