No changes other than the normal updates.

Title:
  Saned does not start: service is masked

Status in sane-backends package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have been running saned for a couple of years on both 16 and 18.
  Recently it has stopped working with the message that it is masked. I
  don't use the scanner all that often so I cannot say exactly when it
  stopped working, certainly in the last few weeks.
