Title:
  ERROR: xsane-startimage not found.

Status in xsane package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in xsane source package in Focal:
  In Progress
Status in xsane package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Starting xsane produces the message:

  ERROR: xsane-startimage not found. Looks like xsane is not installed
  correct.

  It appears that the files in xsane-common are not copied into the location where xsane looks for the file xsane-startimage.png.
  A similar problem was reported in late 2019 for debian.

  [Test Plan]

  You need a focal machine with a connected scanner to reproduce the
  issue.

   * Start xsane from terminal
   * Notice the error message as well as the incomplete UI

  Then install xsane and xsane-common from focal-proposed, and find that
  the issue is no longer present.

  [Where problems could occur]

  The proposed change simply copies a .pnm file to a location where the
  program expects it to reside, and adds a symlink to the docs on disk.
  Can't think of any side effects of these measures.
