Comment:
Thanks for working on this package. 

Just tried this package from my machine (x86, glibc). All the scanning functionality over network seems to be working fine. The only thing I was not able to get working is the -q option under the `brsaneconfig5` executable with the following error code: `sh: 1: /opt/brother/scanner/brscan5/brscan_cnetconfig: not found`. 

It seems the package from the brother website includes more binary executables such as `brscan_cnetconfig` and `brscan_gnetconfig` (is this one for gtk?). These probably just have to live in the opt folder too `/opt/brother/scanner/brscan5/<binary>` as it is coded into `brsaneconfig5`.  Then again, trying this out and copying these files does clear the error, but for some strange reason my working device does not then show when executing `brsaneconfig5 -q`.

I think this is because the command is looking at the brsanenetdevice.cfg, again, in the `/opt/brother/scanner/brscan5` folder rather than in `/etc/opt` ... Perhaps keeping all the files that are under `/etc/opt/...` in `/opt/...` and creating symlinks to the `/etc/opt` location afterwards would be the most elegant solution here?
