There *is* an xsane flag for GIMP. Well, it's called "scanner" but it
does what you intended in your post.

I'm guessing that the problem is that without a useflag for xsane,
dependencies cannot be tracked properly. xsane is linked against
libgimp-2.0 on my system, but gimp is not a dependency of xsane.
