[Impact]

When using a Genesys GL847 scanner, the documents get disfigured by a
discolored bar. The proposed uploads should fix the issue. They are
available in this PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/sane-backends

[Test case]

1. Install the libsane (libsane1 in bionic), libsane-common
   and sane-utils packages from {bionic,disco]-proposed.

2. Use an affected device to scan, and find that the issue is
   no longer present.

[Regression risk]

Upstream commit, focused bug fix => low regression risk

[Original description]

On Windows it works but on my Ubuntu 17.10, 18.04 and 18.10 I see a
black band on scanned image. The scanner is Canon CanoScan LIDE100.
Libsane version is 1.0.27-1~experimental2ubuntu1
