After a bit of mucking around (and possibly finding a bug with debian's
libusb/xsane/hotplug interaction, nothing seems to run
/etc/hotplug/usb/libusbscanner and thus only root can scan, anyone whose
got this working please let me know), the problem does not exist if I
only use libusb xsane.
How about the following:

Say Y here if you want to connect a USB scanner to your computer's
USB port. Please read <file:Documentation/usb/scanner.txt> for more
information.

+ This driver has been obsoleted by support via libusb.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called scanner.
