[Bug 1564778] Re: package libsane-common 1.0.25+git20150528-1ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/etc/sane.d/hp.conf', which is also in package libsane:i386 1.0.23-3ubuntu3.1

I've just uploaded all three (zesty, yakkety, and xenial) fixes.  Better
to just fix this now while the number of uploads is even smaller.  :)

I agreed with Nish about the versions, so I fixed them.
