canon 630 scanner install on debian

I wanted to use my canon canoscan630ui on my linux box, which runs debian testing. Here is how I made it:
  1. search for the model name on debian package search
  2. installed as root:
    apt-get install libsane xsane gimp
  3. added myself to the scanner group:
    adduser pauls scanner
  4. started the image editor gimp, then fetched the image via (in Swedish): arkiv/xsane/canon630u:libusb....
  5. It took a few seconds until it woke up, but then, voila!
