    In fact this is not defined very fine in the standard.
    But after a close look to the sources of scanimage/xscanimage/xsane
    it looks like all frontends do handle it the same.
    So we should mention in the standard that the also last sane_read
    that reutrns valid image data has to return with SANE_STATUS_GOOD.
