I have sent feeedback (but no fix). Unfortunately, it seems that the feedback
message didn't make it to GNATS for some reason.

I have been thinking about this problem for some days now.
Honestly, I don't know how to do this.
I understand the problem (ie. do not overwrite a configuration file if it has
been changed) but I do not know how to do that with ports. I have read the
porters handbook lightly, perhaps I need to read it more deeply again.
If my understanding is correct, the new snapscan.conf file should be copied as
snapscan.conf.sample (if a snapscan.conf file exist already), that part is
quite
easy.
What about the other configuration files? As far as I can tell, sane-backends
has a total of 58 configuration files that could possibly be edited by the
user.
Should a patch handle all of them?

Where can I find help from others with this question?
