[PLUG] Missing file for Scanner


Hi all-

Purchased my first scanner and am trying to get it to work with my
Debian Sarge box.  I bought a Visioneer 7300 which is listed on the
supported list on SANE's website so I thought I'd be good to go.  I did
recognize my scanner, but I seem to be missing files:

# scanimage -L
device `gt68xx:libusb:002:002' is a Visioneer OneTouch 7300 flatbed scanner

# xscanimage 
[gt68xx] WARNING: Your scanner is not fully supported or at least 
[gt68xx]          had only limited testing. Please be careful and 
[gt68xx]          report any failure/success to 
[gt68xx]          henning@meier-geinitz.de. Please provide as many
[gt68xx]          details as possible, e.g. the exact name of your
[gt68xx]          scanner and what does (not) work.
[gt68xx] Couldn't open firmware file (neither
`/usr/share/sane/gt68xx/Cis3r5b1.fw' nor
`/usr/share/sane/gt68xx/cis3r5b1.fw'): No such file or directory


I do not have either of these files on my system and e-mailed henning
for more info.

Are these files supposed to be provided by the lib-sane or sane packages
or do I need to get them some other way?  I feel like I'm missing
something basic here...

Thanks,
-john
