[Bug 918774] [NEW] Migrate sane-backends to libusb 1.0.x

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Ubuntu Foundation's Bug Bot (crichton):

SANE in Ubuntu is currently built using libusb 0.1.x. This library is
deprecated and not maintained upstream any more. The up-to-date version
is 1.0.x. SANE even supports the new library upstream, it only needs to
be built with it. So I ask for swittching it over. Should only need a
command line option for "./configure" in debian/rules and a change of
the build dependencies in debian/control.

This is also better for Precise LTS, to avoid needing 5 years of support
for an unmaintained library.

SANE with libusb 0.1.x is insane.
