simple-scan: Scanner is not detected anymore on non-NixOS system that has sane set up

Describe the bug

simple-scan (as of v44.0+) is started, but does not find the connected scanner.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Install the sane package on the non-Nixos host usually the sane-backends equivalent to a NixOS
simple-scan & (flake using nixos-23.11 branch)
Wait for physically connected scanner to be detected

Expected behavior

Scanner is detected.

Screenshots

If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Additional context

When I override using v42.5 of simple-scan the scanner is detected.

Also, there is another video device reported by scanimage:

scanimage -L
device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname Integrated Camera: Integrated C virtual device
device `plustek:libusb:003:002' is a Canon CanoScan N1240U/LiDE30 flatbed scanner

EDITED: Added as additional context the assumption that the host OS' sane libraries are installed to provide the udev entries, i. e. on Archlinux this is pacman -S sane. Also changed the title accordingly. Also corrected the version number of the simple-scan nix package that would still be able to pickup the host scanner setup.
