In that case we will get in trouble with the versions.
If we split frontends and backends in two packages they will get their
own version numbers, so a common distribution (backend+frontend)
will mix up different version numbers.
We should _not_ make any distributions that include backends
and frontends when we split them!!!
(I think sane-frontends-1.0.4 will keep up to date much longer
than sane-1.0.4 (backends)).

I would prefer this because we really have two different
distributions and we should not mix them up.

I think it does not matter. There may be someone using xcam/xscanimage
and so it is a good solution to make an own distribution with it.
