It would be nice if, along with brscan2, 3 and 4, you would also add an ebuild for the brscan5 driver. In my case, I needed it to get a DS-640 to work. The brscan4 driver didn't work for this device (neither the one here, nor the one from portage).
Before finding this here, I also added a version bump request for the in-tree brscan4 driver at https://bugs.gentoo.org/833603 – maybe, someone of you can comment this? Imo, at least the brscan drivers should be part of the official portage tree, in a meaningful way, as they are applicable for all kinds of Brother scanners. For the printer driver ebuilds, I see that it's meaningful to have them in a separate overlay.
Anyway, thanks for your work :-) And thanks in advance for adding support for brscan5!

I found some ebuild for brscan5 at https://github.com/qix67/gentoo-overlay , but this one doesn't seem to be as nice as the ones maintained here.
