Hello there, even though when I =guix install sane-airscan= and run =airscan-discover= I see my scanner listed it isn't listed when I try to find it using =simple-scan=. I tried modifying the sane-service-type to have the following values: sane-backends, sane-backends-minimal and sane-airscan and none of that worked either: simple-scan still fails.

SANE frontends can be made to work with the`sane-airscan` backend using the following trick:

1. Execute `guix install sane-airscan simple-scan` followed by:

 2. `env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${HOME}/.guix-profile/lib/sane SANE_CONFIG_DIR=${HOME}/.guix-profile/etc/sane.d simple-scan` .

 This shows that `SANE_CONFIG_DIR` should for sure be a native-search-path and that perhaps we should have a `GUIX_SANE_BACKEND_PATH` as well.
