Well, as AcquireImages code use libksane from kdegraphics and as
kipi-plugins will be moved to kdegraphics too, all must be fine.

And ? Where is the problem here if you cut definitively kscan
dependency and replace it by libksane ?

When i said to do it, it's when KDE 4.4 will be released to not
perturb binary compatibility

I plan to move kipi-plugins to kdegraphics after 0.8.0 release (the
ultimate extragear version), and before KDE 4.4 freeze. As
kipi-plugins do not provide a shared libs used by other program, there
is no problem of dependency to move it to kdegraphics for KDE 4.4...
